The hardest books for me to edit were books of plays in the Harvard Classic series. Some of the sources were from Project Gutenberg and others were from OCRed scanned images. Other than the common problems with OCR text and archaic words plus the every now and again non-English word, the interplay between format and layout was hard to migrate to BookDesigner.
