Au contraire.  That is precisely what FullWrite has - booklet style printing.
Unfortunately, it is unavailable unless you are going to a PostScript device.
There is also a shareware product called PBWriter that will take the PostScript
output from any word processor/page layout program (at least all of them that
I tried) obtained via the Command-F route and print it out as a booklet: two-up,
two-sided, and fit for center stapling.
