Old Books Text Digitization

I have a collection of older, public-domain books that I want transformed into clean, searchable PDFs. Your first task is to extract the full text accurately—OCR or manual transcription is fine as long as the final copy is error-free.

Once the words are captured, I need them laid out in a fresh, reader-friendly style rather than the original typesetting. Think modern fonts, clear hierarchy for headings and sub-headings, tidy margins, and consistent page numbering. Feel free to propose small design touches that improve readability while keeping the historical spirit intact.

Deliverables
• One professionally formatted PDF per book, ready for printing and digital viewing
• All text fully searchable and proof-checked
• Source files (InDesign, Word, or similar) so I can make future edits if needed

If you have experience combining OCR software with manual proofreading and can give old literature a crisp new presentation, I’d love to see samples of similar work and hear how quickly you can turn around the first title.
