I have scanned nearly 3,000 pages and fed them into tesseract. Some were very poor quality -- memeographs from the '60s and other very poor quality faded originals. I found that paying attention to making sure the tifs being input to tesseract were as clean and noise free as possible, that the dpi was high -- but not too high -- really paid off.
I solved the problem with ligatures by writing a simple editor script that converted them to their component characters. I really think this wikipedia page is a good idea.
