Carl, to learn book creation I recommend that you read the Wiki page on that subject. HarryT wrote a terrific tutorial that I follow religiously with BookDesigner. The tutorial is located in this sticky thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10313 and will tell you how to use BD to clean a text file to create the ebook in all 3 formats. For the Lasker book, you'll also need to create images of the board positions from the ASCII art, which I can't tell you how to do. The HTML of the one I converted had a clever way to create images of the board positions using an 8x8 table filled with the images of the individual pieces. If you could figure out how to use that HTML and modify it for the positions in Lasker, you might be able to use it to create the images. Good luck!
