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.
