What format is your book in, currently? If it's in HTML currently, or some 
other kind of text-markup format, I have a bot available that can quickly 
handle the formatting changes. If not, you have to do it all the hard way 
(which I know from experiance can be a big pain).

When the UN APDIP donated their library of ebooks to our project, we 
included links to all the original PDF versions on the UN website. You can 
see all these books at [[Category:APDIP Books]]. All of those ebooks also 
include information about the original authors, and other meta-information 
to help direct interested readers back to the UN. An important point to make 
here, however, is that the links to the UN website are not considered to be 
links "for profit", and so we don't consider them spam or anything like 
that.
