I guess they couldn't afford proof-readers.

I picked a book at random, Dickens' tale of 2 cities. Here's the first few lines:

"*** was the best of tunes, it was the worst of times,..."

"li was tie winter of despair, we had everything before us,..."

I guess they just OCR'd books en-masse without proof reading. Oh well, think of it as an exercise for your brain.
