Well to get back to the original theme I just finished reading a gutenberg book that was actually in fairly good shape. But even so it had some annoying problems still in it after I have gone through and beautified it once.
These included: punctuation without spaces. two sentences run together with a period and no spaces after the period. Spelling checkers are a great tool to find problems in scanned books but some of them won't find this since they have been taught (programmed) to ignore words of this kind since they might be filenames.
The second problem was paragraph splits where they didn't belong. The sentence was not over and the new paragraph started with a small letter. It should not have been a paragraph split.
Hopefully a program could detect this sort of thing.
