I'm writing mine as we speak. I have chosen memoir and never turned back. Basic stuff is basic, works perfectly with LyX and its layout is very nice. A big library on chapter title styles is a plus. I have tried Koma before, but never liked it completely. R is a must for nice plots, as well as Inkscape for fingerpainting. Biblatex is another nice addition. Please, feel free to ask any question you have. Best regards. ------------------------------------------------- Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com
