[scribus] book design

[Mary Moore]

Thanks for the praise, they are doing very well. There seems to be very few
tutorials on book formatting especially for Scribus. In fact Steve's was
the only one I found. I had already produced a couple of books (using the
old school trial & error) and found Steve's tutorial very helpful.

Good luck to you as well.
Mary
