Book Outline Examples

Prompted by this question the other day, where can I see some examples of the outlines authors (fiction or non) put together before they start writing their books?

You can find detailed notes for Rudy Ruckers Frek and the Elixir (scroll down, look for PDF link). I read the book and found the notes entertaining.

Download Keynote (a free personal information manager) and then some of the files found on this page.

Thanks for this question, NMRN, as I'm wondering about the same thing. Here's a bit of discussion from Paperback Writer, and she says she might make a more in-depth post about outlining later this week.

Also, you might find a book called First Draft in 30 Days helpful.
