Congratulations, indeed. My last book was also philosophy at OUP, and my experience was very good as well. After sending them the manuscript in PDF, they were impressed enough with its appearance that they asked me if I wanted to typeset the book. I declined (not wanting to go to the trouble of all the tweaking you did); they did accept a LaTeX version, which I believe they tweaked in order to typeset it. In any case, another testament to LyX/LaTeX. Thanks again to the developers, to whom I'm grateful every day. BH
