I'm looking for inspiration on how to make my book appear more professional with regard to typesetting and page design/layout (although of course these alone don't make it more professional). I found this question:
Examples of good academic poster design
Which is very close to what I'm looking for, except for books (or possibly articles).
Here is a related question on the TeX stackexchance site:
However, that question is very specific to (La)TeX. Although I'm writing in LaTex myself, I'm interested in any examples, whether they are written in MS Word or using a typewriter or anything else. I'm only interested in academic texts that have a serious and professional look about them.
My own field is in history, so if you have examples in history or other scholarly fields, that would be the best.
Also, I know about style guides such as Bringhurst's or Oxford/Chicago's style guides, but these are guides rather than academic studies.
The book will be in colour but any advice is welcome.
Question: What qualities and strategies exist to format a textbook? What are the commonalities well-designed textbooks share in terms of structure, hierarchy, captions, etc..?
