Anybody know software which allows you to generate your own chess book? Playing through a game, quickly adding annotation, diagrams and comments? Thanks.

I use Word. I just copy the PGN into a word-document.
As diagrams I use a TrueType font, Leipzig, that gives chesspieces, the board, and it's frame with the aid of the keyboard. 'K' means king on black background, 'q' means queen with white background, etc. Very nice.
There I can include annotations, Results, opening repertoire, whatever.
I collect 100 games in one document, print it out and put in my chess bookshelf. Now I'm working onmy 7th booklet.

Really? Interesting.

Actually, there must be a way in Fritz to create an E-book because I downloaded the free E-book on the Chigorin defense from Silman's website that's in a Fritz compatible format. It opens up in Fritz and it keeps a game database and written pages to read about theory. I just don't know how to create one. Does anybody know how to do this? I'm sure there has to be a way to print it as well?

I think it more likely the e-book was created with chessbase.Not that I would know how to do it.
