What this example demonstrates

Nonfiction authors who want to inspect one source across reader PDF, EPUB, Kindle cover, KDP files, and a publishing checklist.

Complete book metadata

YAML front matter controls title, author, publisher, edition, rights, dedication, cover, back cover, and contents.

Interior hierarchy

The miniature book demonstrates a chapter opening, image, pull quote, table, appendix, acknowledgments, notes, and references.

Multi-format sample kit

The generated kit includes the reader PDF and source plus the additional publishing files declared by the catalog.

Source and files

Inspect the exact source before you start

The source is a complete miniature nonfiction book, not a claim that every marketplace will accept every file unchanged. Authors remain responsible for current platform specifications, rights, metadata, and final proofing.
