When a design calls for a fancy font treatment that is not available in iBooks Author, one way to achieve that effect is to create it in InDesign first. The example here shows a page title with typography and a background. Once the page is ready, it can be dragged directly to the desired page in iBooks, which then converts all the items into one image, including outlines, drop shadows, etc., and any other effect done in InDesign. To make any changes, the original file must be edited in InDesign and dragged back to iBooks.
