As others have noted, if one provides a .pdf, w/ appropriate embedded
graphics and all fonts embedded, one can send a job to a printer w/ a
reasonable confidence that it will be printed as imaged.
If one wants a different look though, other than what one has set up in
LaTeX already, then rather than going to a printer, it's typical to
send the job off to a publisher or type composition company who can
then coordinate getting a book design done by a book designer, macros
to achieve said design created by a programmer, graphics appropriately
formatted by a graphic artist and the whole job composed and laid out
by a typographer.
