[scribus] book design

[Michael Coughlin]

Dear Mary:


Thanks for your email.

I have been in contact with Steve, but when I asked whether his program
applies to books, he said he doesn't focus on book production, but has much
on producing magazines.  Perhaps there is a lot of crossover between the
two.

Checked out your book page.  Congratulations on all your books.  To date I
have done most of my books using my Linotype and letterpresses, but there
are some projects I think would be better to do using Scribus, so am putting
my feet into the system.

Thanks.

Mike Coughlin

Hi Mike, I have formatted 3 novels using Scribus with great success. I would
suggest you purchase the tutorial from Steve Czajka for Desktop Publishing
using Scribus. His email is steveczajka at hotmail.com You should check out his
portfolio at http://flickr.com/steveczajka or follow me on twitter at
