    Hi Bullitt;

    First off, pyeaton's advice about the number of pages/4 is gospel.

    Second, I wouldn't worry about the planning up. I've designed for print for over ... well, years, and have *never* done what you're trying to do. I've always given the artwork as spreads, as I want it to look.

    This is part of the printers' side of things, like trapping, screen angles etc etc. You'll run into issues with images bleeding across spreads, it's just a nightmare.

    I guess my answer is don't do it! It's not really your responsibility. If your printer is saying otherwise they're being out of order.

    Unless of course you're working at a printers, then I'll shut up.

    Good luck.
