That's exactly what happened to the book I was working on; and I did finally
reject it. It was a difficult decision, but it just would have taken more
time than I felt I could spend correcting the OCR errors.
I have, however, been using the RTF file to do some experimenting with
"find" and "replace." I've also learned much from that experience.
Blessings.

die in phrases such as
of
in
with
under
among
and
Usually if you have the as die you also have to fix
diem them
diese these
plus their there and any other words with the in them such as odier for
other
It takes hours and hours to fix die for the. Usually there are lots
of other scanos in the text because the contrast is so poor and the
book really needs rejecting.
