For an interesting take on "modernizing" vintage books, you might take a look at Standard Ebooks Manual of Style --- https://standardebooks.org/manual/1.7.0
I must confess, I have adopted many of their suggestions, and have not tried to replicate the Print Version for a very long time. |
I don't really try to replicate print, but I like to keep some feel of the chapter styling, *if* within reason.
A graphic or fancy font character sounds nice, but YOU are wonderful at that sort of thing, I am not! I'd best stick with easy or I'll get no books done at all! I'm having enough trouble with cover images, as Hinkle had a rather bad habit of describing horses whose coloring is *not* particularly common!
On thinking it over, I'll leave "THE END" where present and where not present, I won't add it. I've no way to know whether the author intended it or whether a publisher just stuck it in there for the heck of it.
I have sort of a love/hate relationship with Standard Ebooks. I like what they do, but I feel like their code and semantics get well beyond what *I* feel up for!
OCR for
Blaze Face is done. Now I need to catch up on housework for a few days and give my eyes a badly needed break.
