I think if the book is chopped too close to the text, the OCR program thinks
that the boundary between the white page and the black background is a
character, usually a vertical bar (|, or as Unix programmers call it, a pipe -
I had a password of "smoking|" which is "smoking pipe" for a while). Getting
rid of pipes is easy enough, just do a global replace, but if there are other
characters like 'p', then it's tougher. If they have blanks on each side, then
you can use a global replace, but if they are in the middle of words, or up
against words (like 'pthe'), then you have to remove them one at a time, which
is a royal pain. You're not inept, it's the chopper (meaning me) who's inept.
Sorry!

What makes a book like Black William end up with those extraneous end of
line characters? I have run across this before, find it hard to remove
them, and feel inept.
