Henry,

1. There is quite a few overlapping pages, so the resulting pages will not
be the sum of the books (at least in theory). Anyway, what is a "too big"
book? You will not have to carry it phisically, and even if you would, you
would have to carry 2 books however. I really don't see any advantage
splitting the pages into 2 documents instead of one: just disadvantages.

2. Two books with no criterion distinguishing them, is a pain in the neck
when you have to search some reference: for the Murphy law, what you are
searching will be always in the second one you search. :-) Besides, which
one is what you have to start with if you are n00b?

3. IMHO more books don't look better from an advertising point of view. I
lead an advertising agency for 8 years and I learned that you better focus
on one single target to avoid dispersion. If there aren't "The Holy Bible"
and "The Holy Bilble under the Hood"... it has to be for some good reason
:-)

ciao
