Believe it or not, there is no such thing as "a template" for a paperback
book. There are potentially as many templates as there are books. You need
to design your book yourself and create a template to implement your design.
I generally look at a number of books of the same type as the one I am
designing/typesetting to get ideas. For the technical aspects, see these
articles:

Hi Les

To find templates to use in Word, try
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/default.aspx, or try Google.

Hope this helps.

This article will be helpful as is, but is not yet finished--check back in a
day or so for an updated version.

Thanks, I just added that to the article.
