There are a number of themes available out of the box, and Koken is simple to install and setup.

Type Only
Looks like another stunning book from Unit editions. I have just pre-ordered this as an addition to the studio bookcase.
Type Only celebrates a current trend in typography: type unsupported by illustration or photography. In other words, typography and letterforms on their own – solus.
Through the work of around 100 graphic designers from around the world, Type Only explores the communicative and emotive power of type when used in isolation.
