> The octavo class is a modification of the standard LaTeX book 
> class. Its purpose is to typeset books following classical 
> design and layout principles, with the express intention of 
> encouraging the making of beautiful books by anyone with access
> to a good printer and with an inclination towards venerable 
> crafts, e.g., bookbinding.
> 
> The octavo class differs from the book class by implementing 
> many of the proposals and insights of especially Jan Tschichold 
> and Hugh Williamson.
> 
> The documentation includes methods to organise and print out 
> any text into signatures, which can then be gathered, folded 
> and sewn into a book.
