OMG, gbm you're the best! Explaining to me what was happening, what was there... those "embedded text files" (never knew that), and your link, steered me to the solution:
1) Open in Adobe Acrobat (I have v.8)
2) Go to document>examine document
3) Make sure "hidden text" is checked (I also kept "Metadata" checked, not sure if necessary to remove this also)
4) Click "remove all checked items"
5) Save document
I reloaded the resulting file (book)... which was much smaller, BTW... into my Nook, and it opens with the crisp original type from 1909.
Thanks again, and all the best...
