It would make more sense to just create a large book by concatenating the pages. And then make the large number at once. In that case you only don't know which pages belong to which book, but separating on that level will probably be easier. :-)

- MrQuincle 12y agoYou mean you have to include a header before each book? And pad it with zeros? That wasn't in the concatenation manual. :-)
