Sorry, I missed that bit. There is a way to do this quite easily in OS X. 1) Make PDF files of all the files that need to be combined. (It is a good idea to do this by first printing to a PS file, and then opening that in Preview, the PDFs are better quality) 2) Get a shareware called CombinePDFs to combine the files in the right order. 3) Get a Shareware called Booklightening, and run the resulting file through it. Voila, you have a booklet. Booklightening does cost some money ($49). I believe CombinePDFs is free. Both are available from versiontracker. It's very simple to use these two programs.
