Looking for tutorial on notebook printing

Is there an accessible tutorial on printing notebooks to paper? I have no problem making my printer produce letter-size pages that resemble inflated fractions of my notebook cells. I’m more interested in a way to pursue the dream of presentable multi-page documents, like the pages in The Mathematica Book, in a way less painful than experimentation.

There is an AuthorTools package. I have never used it so I am not sure if it can help with your problem, but worth taking a look at.
