I can't imaging what quality Tesseract produces...

Tesseract works well, especially when using it with gImageReader. As for italics, bold, etc., just mark up your text as you go. Then when you move your text into your word processor, search for the codes and make your changes. If you do it at a chapter a time it's not that big of a burden. Especially with novels, where's there's hardly any italics or bold fonts anyhow.
As for headers and footers, just exclude them when you choose your block of text. I'm guessing it's not as sophisticated as FineReader (which I've never seen) but it's still pretty good.
