You might have a look at LyX. It uses LaTeX as its underlying format.
I've used it for writing short CompSci test and not for anything as
large as a book, but I felt it did the job nicely.

LaTeX is by far the best if you are writing a textbook. However, there
is quite a steep learning curve. If you have no LaTeX experience at
all, a good book to get is "LaTeX: A Document Preparation System" by
Leslie Lamport (the original developer of LaTeX). After that, or if you
already have some LaTeX experience, a good reference is either "The
LaTeX Companion" or "Guide to LaTeX." Personally, I prefer the latter,
however it is really a matter of personal preference.
