iBooks Author - Newest Version Updates

The newest edition of iBooks Author provides access to additional templates.  The first edition provided 6 templates.  In contrast, the current edition offers 9 templates for landscape with portrait viewing and 6 for portrait only viewing.  It is important to remember that everything about each of the templates is editable and the edits can be saved as a new template.  The main differences are the location of text and pictures and the styles of fonts used.  The current edition of iBooks Author provides the following templates for landscape and portrait view:
  • Basic
  • Contemporary
  • Modern Type
  • Classic
  • Editorial
  • Craft
  • Photo Book
  • Antique
  • Cookbook
The following templates are available for portrait only viewing:
  • Classic Text
  • Photo Book
  • Modern Basic
  • Gazette
  • Biography
  • Charcoal
The two templates that interest me from a personal perspective are the 2 Photo Book templates and the Cookbook template.  Perhaps Apple will develop a Genealogy Template for me, although the Classic template may be perfect for adaptation.  Hopefully, one day we will have the opportunity to travel to Montana and Finland where I can incorporate photos and genealogy database information into an eBook.

Years ago, when Wayne and I traveled to France, I created a paper scrapbook for the trip memories.  An eBook would be a better solution because of the ability to share it with others.  Will keep creating an eBook in mind when we travel to Italy in a few weeks.
