<p>It has always been my intention to make townguide do what you want. There is the basic code in it to make a book format output but it does not work properly.</p>
<p>I am working on a new release of townguide building on Waldemar's excellent Google Summer of Code project. </p>
<p>I can fix the booklet generation as part of this if it would be useful.</p>
<p>All offers of help appreciated!</p>

To be a bit clearer about what I'm talking about, picture a book of<br>
say 200 pages, covering a very large city (eg, Melbourne, Australia<br>
where I live - approx 4 million people spread over a ridiculously<br>
large area). There's a street index at the back, but that's only<br>
tangential to the maps - not the central goal. So the hard bit is<br>
setting up a structure to impose a grid structure over the inhabited<br>
parts of the city, rendering it all, and adding all the cross<br>
references between pages. Oh, and then, printing and binding :)<br>
