Your book has hard returns at every line end.
read this section http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/conversion.html#id12.
You might need to reduce the unwrap factor in small steps (no more than 5 point at a time) until it converts (without grabbing other line that it should not )

What original format, and just a one off, or several? (but yeah, as mentioned above, the unwrap factor should work, though sometimes there can be more exotic stuff that it does not)

It depends of course on what your source document is. If it is a doc file then you might find the the Atlantis word processor useful. Just select the whole document or (whatever part you want to remove the end of line carriage returns from), and press Ctrl+Shift+U. That removes all of them in a flash.
