A friend of mine is planning to publish a book which is mostly completed.
He is currently writing it on Wordperfect 5.1.  The book is aimed at a
general population (i.e. not student level) but is a form of study book.
So the layout will be fairly non-standard.  Are there suggestions as to
the best way to approach this kind of publication.  I have access to
TeX, Pagemaker, and Ami-pro (I think that's what it's called), but am
unsure as to what would be best for a publisher.  Suggestions please...

Dave

PS Couldn't GN2 in the FAQ be expanded a little to cover this kind of thing?
