In this tutorial, I show you how to create a book using Apple Pages. Pages is free for Mac and iPad and is surprisingly capable as a desktop publishing and page layout app.

Note that I say tutorial in the broadest possible sense of the word. Rather than a prescriptive, step-by-step instructional guide, I'm describing my process as I explore the app. I’m applying my knowledge of InDesign and page layout to a word-processing app with some tricks up its sleeves. If you want a step-by-step guide, Amazon provides one on the KDP website. Note, however, that it's for an older version of Pages (v7.3), and I disagree with Amazon's assertion the current version of Pages (v10) lacks the essential features.
