As far as timings go, I'd figure for a standard small paperback (maybe 200-250 pages) about 2.5 hours to scan and OCR and then edit. That is roughly two thirds scan/OCR and a third edit/polish/convert. So if you were scanning to images you could skip most of the last time. I find that 300dpi black and white is fine for these sorts of books.
