    <abstract>
      Octavo provides a modification of the standard LaTeX book class
      to typeset books following classical layout and design
      principles. In particular, book formats are set to classical
      sizes such as foolscap, crown, post, demy, etc., margins are set
      harmonically, an attempt is made to maintain a constant grid of
      printed lines throughout the text, and the page styles are
      defined more discretely. The documentation includes methods to
      produce signatures so that books can actually be made by the
      user.
