We essentially digitally re-master the book. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.įor printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable.

The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching.

Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.įor PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. See more like image above the description, but doesn't have the big "Facsimile Edition" across the top. Marc, if you're listening: I would repurchase this again and at full price if you had someone typeset the entire text. Unless you're going for the print copy, I'd avoid this at full price if it goes back to $20. Lets hope the print at least looks nicer than the PDF does. This isn't a "Facsimile", it's just a poorly put together non-exact copy of CT 81 Book 1-3. There's also some weird glitches where some sections of a page was re-typeset (for what ever reason) and it's alignment is off.

Which greatly reduces the utility of this PDF. This leaves entire sections unsearchable. Feel free to check this if your PDF client lets you ctrl+a on the whole book (PDF-X-Change Viewer does). The big issue foe me is that MANY of the pages are NOT OCR'ed. I'll start by acknowledging this PDF was $1 (I bought the print version with the PDF), so take this with a grain of salt at that price.
