After almost a year of collaborative effort, the official Scribus manual can now be pre-ordered from our publisher, FLES Books. Weighing in at just under 450 pages, this heavyweight was designed as a comprehensive guide to Scribus 1.3.3.x.
The long-awaited Scribus Official Manual is in its final stages of production, and we now have a site open for pre-publishing sales. For those who are not already aware, the manual began about one year ago as a collaborative effort. The lead authors, Gregory Pittman and Christoph Schäfer, worked with a number of other contributors on this important project.
The manual represents the most comprehensive source of information about using Scribus, and includes other useful information about DTP, fonts, color management, and more.
The next Libre Graphics Meeting, LGM 2009, is now set to happen once again in Montréal, Québec, Canada, on May 6, 7, 8 and 9, 2009. Like the 2007 meeting, it will take place at L'École Polytechnique. Louis Desjardins is already busy starting the preparations. Hope to see you there!
