Gary,
A miracle has occurred, I found the book. The difficult sections I see
are in the fourth story, the one by Harlan Ellison. Some pages are
partly two column, some pages have part of the page normal and part of
the page sideways to the rest, and there a few diagrams.
My copy says Paperback library edition, first printing, September 1971.
If my copy is close enough to yours, II could scan the problem pages in
pieces and send them to you with comments inserted on how they are laid
out in the print book. Then, you could insert those pages in your scan
of the rest of the book, submit it and someone else could proof it.
The fourth story starts on page 170
Page 179 and 180 are partly sideways
Page 186 has a small diagram made of letters that the OCR may or may not
get right
Page 191 has a section that has the text in a very narrow column and one
line that is backwards
Page 192 has part in two columns and part just one column
Page 198 has a section that is just what look like random phrases with
varying spaces between them. Maybe it makes more sense than that in the
context of the story
Page 205 has a section with three short columns of text
Page 206 has a section with two columns of text
Page 207 starts with three columns of text then has only one normal
column of text
Page 208 starts as normal text then has sideways text
Page 214 the text is in a spiral. Probably have to type that in by hand
The story ends on page 216

I can send tiffs of the pages. I tried to fool around with paint, but
the jjjpegs came out Huge. I'm not sure how to scale them down or to
what proportions. If I have the right pages, the Tiffs come to about
the size of a floppy disc in the old days.

Gary,
Since the drought in the submit queue, I have been doing only
scanning, not proofing. However, if yours is the paperback version,
I do have that book. Aside from me wanting to let others proof, it
may take me a while to find the book. I moved recently and most of
the paperback books are still in boxes.
So, I'm willing to unravel whatever creative formatting the publisher
came up with, but if someone else can work on it quicker, I'd be
happy to let them have it.

I think I'm going to have to have sighted help to rehibilitate the 5
Fates by various authors, Poul Anderson, Keith Laumer, Frank
Herbert, Harlan Ellison, et al. Pages have various types of
inventive text layouts and: 1. they didn't always recognize
meaningfully; and, 2. I'm not sure how to layout the text itself.
I'd be happy to send images of the various pages. Btw, I'm still
working on the Hugo Winners v.1-2 and Before the Golden Age. I'm
just scanning some stuff when I take a break.
Thanks.
