We all can say scribus i great here. I use it everyday as graphic designer.
Using a layout program is a bit different from using a text processor. But you can do exactly what you want, place images and shapes where you want and be sure the printed result will match a good quality, especially regarding colors. If you have only text in your books, scribus will not be as usefull as if you'd want to have a creative layout, but it's your choice. here, we can help you on the basics if you need. cheers pygmee ----- Mail original ----- De: "john Culleton" <John at wexfordpress.com> ?: scribus at lists.scribus.net Envoy?: Jeudi 1 Novembre 2012 20:08:24 Objet: Re: [scribus] Publishing a book on Scribus On Thu, 1 Nov 2012 15:41:53 +0100 Richard Foley <rich.inud at naktiv.net> wrote: > I used Scribus to produce a print-ready PDF for LSI which had 250 > photographs and 160 pages.

Things like indexing, TOC, running heads etc. are easier. And 1,000+ pages in one file sre no problem, But for covers Scribus is great. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html ___ Scribus Mailing List: scribus at lists.scribus.net Edit your options or unsubscribe: http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus See also: http://wiki.scribus.net http://forums.scribus.net
