I'm looking for memoir tutorials or introductions. The main manual is a wonderful piece of documentation, but at nearly 600 pages it is a bit overwhelming as a starting place. Likewise the more examples I can find (with associated code) the more quickly I can move to the real work of typesetting the book in question---a collection of short stories gathered together in one place for the first time.

There's a video on zeeba.tv of a presentation by Steve Peter:
Description: This presentation serves as a gentle introduction to Peter Wilson’s memoir class, an alternative to the standard LaTeX classes. Memoir is quite flexible, and makes it easy to create beautiful book, article, and report designs, without having to search for, install, and load numerous third-party packages.

It is well done, but I'm a text sort of person and I'm still hoping for something not widely known out there. I've assembled about 4 or 5 pdfs so that is a start (lots of printing with a trip or two to Kinko's for binding :) ) Thanks for the suggestion though!– hsmyersCommented Jul 1, 2011 at 4:12

6@hsmyers: it would be great if you would share the links to the pdfs here. Perhaps answer your own question posting the links you found until now.– Stefan Kottwitz ♦Commented Jul 2, 2011 at 9:50
