/lit/ here.
Got my hands on a book that I want to scan and OCR for easy distribution (no scans/ebooks available online, and the actual book is rare as fuck). I never had the need to do this before so I am ignorant on this subject.
Should my scanner be set to a certain DPI?
Is there dedicated OCR software for this?

Just take pictures with your phone lol.

This.
Acquiring the images is easy. Photographing the pages is far more convenient than scanning.
The real problems start with OCR. It sucks sometimes and you will have to prove read and format the whole thing.

Use Tesseract.

Your local library will probably have a device and computer with right software already set up for this exact purpose

I have access to a professional stand-up scanner/printer that can scan straight to PDF, it's retardo fast.
>problem starts with OCR
This is what I concerned about. I tried OCR on one page with Nitro Pro 10 but it kept fucking up special characters (which the book has a lot of). Wasn't sure if Nitro just sucked at OCR, I required a extension for it to read them, or if better OCR software was available.

I'm assuming OP doesn't have the copyrights holder approval for publishing the book in digital form.
