Want to help on Jaka's Story?

Sean Michael Robinson:

Well hello again! Fancy meeting you here!

Are you a fan of Jaka's Story(or Cerebus in general)?

Do you know how to do very basic text editing and formatting?

Do you have a few hours of time to spare sometime in the next two weeks?

I'm looking volunteer(s?) who might be interested in helping out the restoration effort by doing some basic formatting on the Jaka's Story text, prior to that text being passed on to Jeff Seiler for copy editing.

I've scanned the entirety of the text, done the initial OCR (optical character recognition) work, and used various find-and-replace tricks to get rid of as much of the text weirdness as possible. But owing to the various text formatting choices in the original book, the size and amount of fill-in on the text, and other oddities, there's still some formatting to be done, namely, adding in paragraph/line breaks and deleting various junk characters added by the OCR. Based on my formatting work so far, I'd estimate there's somewhere between five and eight hours of work to do on this.

Here are two screenshots, so you know what you might be getting yourself into:

The top one is the actual formatted text, with a single line break to indicate a paragraph break, and the additional line spacings resulting from the funky formatting of the original text removed. The bottom is how the majority of the text stands as of now.

I would love the help, and would be happy to add you to the credits for the finished book.

ALTERNATELY-- are you an OCR expert who believes you could transform my scans into a product much closer to the desired result? Please, contact me, either here in the comments, or by email: cerebusarthunt at gmail.

Thanks so much for your time everyone!
