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.
