Also numbering is an important issue with books. Often, the first pages of the book (a manual for instance) is numbered i, ii, iii, iv, etc. In the chapters of the book, it is often desirable to number figures and tables chapter-wise, so that it is easy for the reader to see which chapter a referenced figure belongs to, such as Figure 2-4. This latter behavior CAN be accomplished without building the publication as a book, but it is much easier and more convenient if chapters/frontmatter/appendix are different files. Lastly, the table of contents is easier to manage if it is a separate file.
