I think the best way here is to make duplicates of your files, then start importing them into a new Book Panel and experiment how it works.
Also, you've got your page margins set way out, and you've manually drawn your guides, which is a bit of a strange way to do it.
Normally your Margins would dictate where the text frames are going. That makes it much easier for importing text and inserting new pages of text etc.
I'm not sure what way you want your text to be layed out, your phrasing is slightly confusing for me.
I've given a good break down already on how it works – so make duplicate files and experiment with the Book and see how it works, what I've already written here should be a good guide on what the different settings are.
Thank you VERY much… I will try everything… to achieve myself :) thanks!!!!

If you want your first chapter to be a left hand page (that would be the first document in the book panel) to be a left hand page you have to open the document and go to Layout Numbering and Options and say Start Numbering at Page 2. This will make the first document a left hand page.
Then setting your Book Page Numbering Options and use the option “Continue from Previous Document” – this will let the chapters follow on in a natural order, so if chapter 1 ends on a left page, then chapter 2 will be facing that page.
And for example if Chapter 1 ended on a right hand page, then Chapter 2 would come directly after this, on a left hand page.
Thanks for gettig back to me again!
Well… when I say start from numbering at Page 2, the chapters go to left page but then all the rest text frames in the pages remain with their previous layout and don't change?! Here is a image… you can see the text frame away from the guides…
Also If I want the next chapter to begin at the right page (it depends on the lenght of the text of the chapter… sometimes left some times right) should I do it manualy in the document on this way by using “Numbering and Options” before importing the fils in the Book palette?!??!

MemberHi again,
Im sorry to ask you again but I need help.
Well, every chapter in my Indesign file begin with left page mastering (attached an image) and every last page of the chapers end with even number. What I have to do so when I import all chapters in the Book Palette everything to be OK?? The question is how can I make the layout of the chapters to change correctly accordingly of the lenght of the previous chapter…after importing the chapters to Book palette e.g. if the prevous chapter end on left page the next chapter to start on the right page and vice versa?!
