I have high-resolution scans of this books.  If Simon permits, I will
create OCR from these scans.  But I think, we must obtain author's
permission before OCR'ing.

PNG version of scans will be released soon.  While size of page is
same, quality is much better, probably it will improve speed of
scanning.

And compact DjVu version will be released too.  Perhaps I could use
OCR'ed text for creating searchable version of DjVu?

What kind of software do you use?
