Already working on my next epub (could be a few months before I'm done): This Soviet World by Anna Louise Strong.
How do you go about doing these? Do you convert the PDF with something like Calibre then read it through to fix the typos, etc, and add tags (html tags)?
In this case I used OCRMyPDF to get text out of the PDF (Calibre doesn't do that), and then I'll create an empty EPUB in Calibre and import the text slowly, going through it with the PDF open to ensure it is correct, then finally add tags.

I can't decide so I'm gonna ask you: External link (to marxists.org) inside the EPUB?
Hmm... I'd maybe include the URL but not make it a hyperlink? I'd be worried about the security if there were links in the text. I don't know whether there is a security risk, but I'd want to play it safe.
That's awesome. I enjoy doing this kind of stuff if you have a backlog and want someone to convert a few books I'm happy to help.
If you want to, do help, it's a tiny project of mine, very... creatively... called "Comrades Library" and I'm just trying to create EPUBs of stuff, so there will always be something on the backlog. Maos Five Essays is currently the only one my list.
