[OS X TeX] Re: [OS X TeX] KOMA vs. memoir vs. ConTeXt vs. …

[Claus Gerhardt]

If you want to write a scientific book (mathematics, physics, etc.) I 
would strongly recommend the amsbook class, personally I would use it 
for any book. The amsbook class can be easily customized, the AMS staff 
is very helpful and the result looks beautifully.
