Reply To: Which approach for laying out a book is best?

Normally I try to avoid using the book feature — it just makes things more complicated and fiddly. In your particular case, perhaps it makes sense to use it, but the fact is that you could just as easily cut and paste the text from one chapter to another.

However, I don’t think it’s a good idea to write a book in InDesign — however much you’re itching to put your knowledge to use. Save it for the layout stage. For the actual writing, it will probably slow you up — a wordprocessor is better for writing.
