Post Wodehouse, P.G.: A Damsel in Distress. v1 8 May 2009

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881-1975) was a popular English comic writer. His books are usually set around pre-war upper-class English society.

An American composer in London. Plus a cab. Plus a girl. Plus a brother. Plus an Earl. Plus misunderstandings. Mix well and you get an genuine and hilarious Wodehouse novel. It's a funny, easy to read and sincere humorous romance novel, a must read.

I created this version from the PG text, it's proofread and, hopefully, nicely formatted. I added curly quotes, a TOC, etc., and created the book with mobiperl.

Any kind of feedback is welcome.

Downloaded and did a quick scan. Looks like a great job of creating a mobi book?
What are the steps you take to get such a professional ebook creation? Did you start with an image pdf or did you use scanned jpg or tiff files? Regardless, I suppose you must have converted the image to rtf or doc, and then edited it to achieve the final result? How did you convert the image to an editable form? I tried AABBYY PDF transformer and got pretty good results for my first attempt, but there were many many error, esp. with the odd chapter headings but even with the traditional body text.

Anyway, congratulations on the excellent result.

As I said, I started with the PG (Project Gutenberg) text, so no scanning and OCR for me. I just had to edit the text, convert to HTML (mobi flavour) and then read the book noting and correcting the errors or mistakes.
