Unfortunately, that's more easily said than done. Without the cleaned up source files from which the versions are generated, correcting the books would require re-doing them entirely from the original sources. The formats that are posted here are still mostly terminal formats, in the sense that they can't be converted to something else.

In this case, I think that Madam Broshkina mentioned that she's since lost her cleaned up files due to a system failure, so they're not even available to her. I don't blame her for not wanting to re-do the lot from scratch simply to fix emdashes. I'm particular about emdashes myself, and I wouldn't do such a re-work under those circumstances.
