Have you just googled "Latex templates" or "Latex book templates"?

I'm no LaTeX guru, but my understanding is that the whole point of LaTeX is
to let you define your template/options and then just write. Thus, you
should be able to take any of the above and redefine simple options since
the "meat" remains the same (section titles are are section titles, indents
are indents, etc.).

Worg also discusses a bit how to tailor org-mode with custom class options:
-- http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-latex-export.html

Perhaps you're looking more for something like a custom class file you can
just set via org-mode and use headers like chapters/sections and have it
work. At the very least, looking around at some of the above might help
give you ideas about the packages you would want to include in a custom
export format.

Hope that's slightly helpful?


Best regards,
John
