Only the ones I do. I lay out and typeset books for money. I can
use any tools I like. For something simple like a novel I use
plain pdftex. But if there is any degree of complication in the
layout I use Context. 

I'm a little busy this morning but if you like I can send you a
list of books I have set up using Context. 

In fact, visit my page 
http://wexfordress.com/wexref.html

About half those books were done in Context.

ConTeXt in use

[Arun Swarup]

hi,

I see many books typeset with LaTeX, but what about ConTeXt? 

I haven't seen any books typset using ConTeXt (excluding ConTeXt
manuals, of courz :P). Have you?

One of the reasons may be that a lot of editors don't change the
default layout of LaTeX, so many LaTeX books look like the standard
classes. 

But there is no real default ConTeXt layout (well, not really usable :-)
so there is more distinction involved here.

All of the ones at the site below. "History of Astronomy" is actually a
facimile reprint, so Context is rather incidental, although it is used
to assemble all the pages.

There are two books of the German Unitarian Fellowship that I set  
with ConTeXt:
- Was glauben sie eigentlich (about the fellowship)
- UNvollendeter Weg (texts by Kofi Annan about the UNO)
see http://verlag.unitarier.de

being typeset with tex

I remember you once showed me some layouts that were set with  
QuarkXPress originally, but you rebuild and optimized them with  
ConTeXt...
