What about the per-book effort to produce these fixed layouts? I'd rather that was spent on better proof reading of content. That makes
much more of a difference to me than perfect hyphenation etc.

Methinks you should.  It has earned me some praise from a non-sympathizer recently. (Jellby's work is based on the LaTeX source of my own PDF version.)
It's a 4000-5000+ page (6" page, at least) story, and all of it is rather conversational, very entertaining, and also educational in terms of being a window onto Casanova's time period. Not vulgar either, though amorous endeavors do definitely become focal points with some regularity.

I'll add it to my list , then. Thanks for the tip!
