Here's another book that can really help you with your overall book design (especially your text design). "Books, Type, and Microsoft Word" is designed as an e-book so you can easily reference it as you design and write your own self published book. It will help you:
- Design your text
- Design your overall look of the book
- Design intricacies like margins, graphics, and even paragraphs
The program will enable you to do all of these tasks—all the while using the word processor you probably already own.
