Last time I had to do something like this I've kept both books in one master
file (actually one master file for part 1, one for part 2, one for both
together). With that I could easiliy have a table of contents for both volumes.
I've made some experiments with writing stuff to the logs or tuc file
(\writestatus{SPLITPOINT}{\the\realpageno}) at the end of part 1, which I then
wanted to process with a script (e.g., read the page number, use pdftk to split
the complete PDF at this point to get PDFs for the individual volumes).
However, at the end I've just had to send the PDF containing both volumes to
the publisher as they performed the splitting up themselves.
Best,
Denis
