Hi Matthias

Thanks for the request, it's really useful to know users requirements. I
think this functionality is a bit aside of evince, but it would be
really nice to integrate it into nautilus scripts (that will not even
require C programming skills, you'll be just able to select some files
and then merge them in book in nautilus) or actions or something like
that. There is a project called Automato 

http://blogs.gnome.org/view/rodrigo/2006/07/04/0

it's design looks appropriate.

And probably it would be nice to create poppler utility pdfbook, but it
will require some coding.
