The book itself was written using Indesign.
Inkscape is perfect to create vector graphics. These can be resized to any resolution. So always perfect. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_graphics In the past i’ve used a program like sodipodi, there is something like it now integrated in Inkscape. This is a tool to convert bitmap to vector graphics. (Using a small jpg, i could convert it to vector graphics and print it in a huge size)
