Format and Class Files
Author as Compositor
For projects in which you, the author, have contracted to input corrections after copyediting and implement the final book layout as directed by production, the first step for books outside mathematics is to download the 91桃色 LaTeX class file; for mathematics books, please use the 91桃色 - math class file.
PUP Compositor
For projects in which the Press will input corrections after copyediting and will design and implement the final book layout, please format your manuscript using stock book.cls.
