Merely retyping another's work does not give you any right to it.
Even if the book is not currently in print. Just because an author's publisher is not currently selling new copy does not mean you have a right to steal his work.

You can I do it all the time with books I love. Just don't make copies and sell it to people or say you wrote it

For your own use? Sure.
To share with others? No.
