sure!, you can just checkout the book from

https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/book/es/libro_sig/

Víctor can tell you more about the layout but it's more or less
inherited from other book he wrote. It's double column and has some
macros to layout the chapters.

Please, if you find something you don't understand, discuss it here, of course.

On the other hand, we are not very worried about final layout at this
moment, maybe we will change things like fonts, margins, etc... that's
one of the amazing things of latex!

Cheers
