I had actually already downloaded the Quimby book, noticing that it was one
page per sheet. Very similar to what I send to the printer, except that (a)
I center the pages and (b) I include crop marks.

I also typeset books for publishing. When I send documents to printers,
they
request PDFs with one page per sheet because they will be performing the
imposition in-house.
Well, we'll get there eventually.... I'm just trying to get out the door
here.
I am also the writer. My creation of a book with many illustrations and
other
design features is greatly aided by having a running model. This I do by
folding
the two-page sheets. It is very easy to assemble the model -- no cutting
or
pasting. The cover likewise, on glossy paper. If I add glue to the edge
the
result is very much a book. The model in hand is a great aid to
designing
and the growing book is very motivating.
The one-page-per-sheet can easily be achieved, I'm sure. Word 2007 can
do anything, even crash.
Book example, recently pdf'd:

I've taken this book out of print but it sells (Ebay, Amazon etc.) for a
good
price. (The original was done camera-ready pre-computer.)
Yes, yes, I know, it's not a 2 page per sheet original. Bye bye.
Now, Suzzane, get up to date: buy Word 2007 and have fun :-)
