I am looking for all the tips and what should be considered specifically for the layout of professionally looking books.

The memoir package, more specifically its documentation, is written as an introduction to professional layouts. It contains a lot of examples of different styles of books and how to obtain them. It can be a good start :).

3+1 for the memoir documentation; it's worth a read, even if you don't use the package, for the many sensible things it has to say about layout, etc. – vanden Jul 30 '10 at 14:40

2The book design part of the memoir documentation has been spun off into it's own package: memdesign – Lev Bishop Aug 14 '10 at 23:13

I haven't used KOMA-Script much, but judging from what I've seen I prefer
memoir: more focus on the why, better naming conventions, more powerful (on first sight). – Pieter Dec 24 '10 at 12:07 -
1I wouldn't describe one or the other as better --- use Memoir if you need U.S. conventions (and English is your native tongue), Koma-Script if you need European (and your native tongue is the same as one of the developers / documenters who has written docs for it --- last time I looked, the translated into English docs were pretty heard to understand). – WillAdams Aug 19 '13 at 18:14
