I just got through creating a conference handbook and while the book file worked for my purposes, I can think of a couple circumstances that almost came to pass with this design that would have made the book file more difficult than it already was. The covers in this handbook were both fold-outs which means the page size was a little south of double the width of the interior pages. It would be nice to be able to keep the cover files with the interior page files together in one file. Had I actually placed a fold-out interior page then I would have had to create two extra files to maintain in my book. As it was I had a front cover .indd file, a back cover .indd file and an interior pages .indd file in my book file. I had thought of using an interior fold-out page for the exhibitor's map and list and had I gone forward with this I would have had to split my interior .indd file into two separate documents and created a new fold-out .indd file. By allowing different page sizes in a single file, fold-outs are much easier to create and maintain. For those who are about to say just male a three panel spread, remember that the fold-over page has to be a slight bit shorter then the other pages so it doesn't interfere with the binding. In this case I had to trim an extra .5" to accommodate for a wire-o spiral binding.
