Do you know any good (printed) Photo Book Makers?<p>Preferably something "Hacker Style" where you describe what you want to have in your book (photos + layout + text) using some DSL and describe a template/layout and then get a PDF (or similar) out of.<p>Or something similar like https://github.com/Jack000/Expose but not for the Web but for printing.
Darktable will export to LaTeX and allows specification of a template. LaTeX might count as hacker style for some definitions of 'hacker style'. But it's all a matter of workflow.<p>Good luck.
