Has anyone sighted seen the book's typeface to give some idea why it was 
misinterpreted?

  Someone asked about the book I am currently validating.  It is We Borrow 
  the Earth: An Intimate Portrait of the Gypsy Shamanic Tradition and Culture
  Patrick Jasper Lee

  This is the one where v is mis-scanned as u and other letter combinations 
  similarly miss-scanned.  It started life as 95.5 accurate and I got it up 
  to 99%.  That does not count errors k1000 would not catch like 1 for 
  I.  This book is fascinating but fixing it up has been out of the ordinary 
  to say the least.  This is the book which got me thinking about a utility 
  to substitute letters in mis-recognized k1000 rank spelling list.
