Do you remember about when this was? I've been searching for the post on HN and can't find anything.

I'm afraid not. I've been searching as well and couldn't find it. I recall his process to be

1. secure the rights to the book (he knew the author personally/through family)

2. cut the book open and run it through a high resolution scanner

3. use imagemagick to preprocess images

4. run OCR on the pages and convert them to markdown

5. have a compiler convert his markdown and images to HTML
