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
