It looks like an easy enough conversion (the text is not nightmarishly tiny nor full of weird tables in small font sizes); I'd be happy to do the OCR & correction. How would you like the text--with all the original page #'s & headers, original line breaks, or reflowed as paragraphs & remove page numbers and so on?

(I work with FineReader 7 Pro, if that helps any.)
