ABSTRACT
Decide the type of book you want to write and define your target readership; make decisions about style. Start with macrostyle, i.e. determining proper places for relatively large groups of proper wordssections, chapters and sometimes parts; also make broad policy decisions about whether, and how, to use devices like:
• photographs; • diagrams; • graphs; • tables;
and, depending on your subject, whether to include:
• examples; • exercises; • descriptions of laboratory experiments; • computer program listings.
