Thank you very much for the book template.
Please add formatting for the front matter. This is the most difficult part to do, and I would very much like to rely on a template for it -- because Lulu.com's template is insufficient and I have not been able to make one myself.
What is required is as follows:
First page starts as a right page, with no numbering
there may be pages that need small roman numerals
Chapter One must begin as a right page, and be counted as page one,
but ideally the number would show on chapter page two -- and not before.
It would be acceptable to have page numbers centered in the footer, but
ideally page numbers and text aleternate r and l in headers, but no headers on the first page of each chapter.
There also must be provision for the number of pages in the book to be divisible by 4 -- so some attention to back matter would help too.
In short, I would like to have a book that looks professional by conventional printer standards and have found no template like that. If you could make that for us, it would be a boon and really worth paying for.
Thanks very much.
