On the 21st anniversary we published a book of articles written by members of the club. Luckily the text was written in WordPerfect and I have converted it to a series of org-mode files, one per chapter. For the upcoming 50th anniversary we want to make the book available in both pdf and ePub or mobi format. Creating ePub doesn't look too hard by exporting to html and using something like Calibre to make the ePub/mobi file. However, as a Latex neophyte I was wondering which of the several Latex packages would be suitable. The structure of the book is very simple. No tables or formulae but has some photos and cartoons, which I have scanned from the originals. All I need is something that will let me format chapter headings, author attributions and produce a TOC. Templates like Memoir seem to be vast overkill for my needs and have documentation several times longer than our book! -- Best wishes, Ian.
