Another option is to play with the fractions.  In my digital control 
book, I had lots of figures, which resulted in quite a bit of blank 
space.  To make the book as compact as possible, I gave the following 
commands:

\renewcommand{\topfraction}{1.0}
\renewcommand{\bottomfraction}{1.0}
\renewcommand{\textfraction}{0}
\renewcommand{\floatpagefraction}{1.0}

Obviously, I was modifying the default behaviour, as felt correct by 
LaTeX.  Even though this modification was an extreme step, it did not 
affect the readability at all.  Moreover, the publisher John Wiley & 
Sons did not have any complaints - they used the same manuscript as the 
camera ready copy.
