If by "typeset productions" you mean examples of work produced using
groff, check out
https://www.schaffter.ca/pdf/linux-midi-orchestration.pdf
Scanning through it gives a good overview of what can be
accomplished with groff when you step outside the defaults. The
book was produced cover-to-cover with the mom macros and generated
with a single call to groff (pdfmon, actually, which is a wrapper
for direct pdf output).
