I'd like to re-create the book as close to the original as possible. The book I'm referring to is The Stars my Destination by Alfred Bester. The Kindle sample I got from Amazon is all jacked up and missing a graphic that I know is in the paper book.
Scan the Graphic in your book, clean it up (de-spot, contrast adjust...) and insert into the book in the proper places.
That is what I do with Sigil
(It is amazing how many commercial e-books look nothing like their dead tree cousin )
