General ⇒ Book in two columns

[kuroi]

I have a problem, I'm writing a book with the book document class, I know it has two columns by default, but I want to write text only in one column and reserve the other just for figures. Could you tell me what to do???

It should look like this:

Perhaps put your figure as marginpars, with a sufficiently large marginparwidth. It's better to modify these length via the geometry package, the different layout parameters interact. The difficulty might be to have your figures exactly where you want them to be, in the right order. So hopefullly such a command as

\marginpar{\centering\includegraphics{myfigure1}\captionof{figuretitle}}

would work.

Anyway, if you try that solution, let me know if it works.
