OCRing + EPUBing my first book: Tips?

$

Hello,

I'd like to turn an out-of-print paper book I have into an EPUB.

I just tried taking pictures of a few pages using my smartphone, and fed them to gImageReader (a GUI to Tesseract).

The text only has a few errors, and I'll have to manually remove mid-line carriage returns, but it's pretty good.

Are there tips you would recommend before I go ahead with the whole 250 pages and turn them into an EPUB (and PDF as well)?

Thank you.
