I'm already disappointed with the amount of LaTex I need to learn to use Sphinx to get something that looks reasonable (especially with regards to fonts, which is apprently a messy hell in LaTex).

Apparently there are more than one "class" involved here, as shown here:
\def\sphinxdocclass{report}
\documentclass[letterpaper,11pt,english]{sphinxcustom}
Now, if you want to change the sphinxdocclass, you change
latex_docclass in the config.py. (Logical, eh?)
Then it complains that my sphinxcustom class doesn't implement
sphinxcustom (weirdly it doesn't complain about that before).
And after changing that you get an error:
LaTeX Error: \endabstract undefined.
So obviously you can't use "book", but *must* use "report". Or
something. I don't know, LaTeX is a mess, and Sphinx on top of it
doesn't help. Both the world of LaTeX and Sphinx support for it should
be simplified. Maybe I'll work on that if I ever write a second book.

You can use
\frontmatter
\mainmatter
and \backmatter
for foreword, main text and things like bibliography etc.

OK, so having a
.. raw:: latex
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{-1}
in the start and a
.. raw:: latex
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{2}
At the end of the introduction means it won't get a chapter number,
which is good enough. Thanks!
