Yeah I though of similar things too though I was looking more for something we could give to end users (i.e. something clever we could add to core to support producing print ready books). > > The problem is that the coverage layer would need to be carefully (manually) > crafted to create the odd and even pages.

I will go and check it out next weekend. For ‘doing it in core’ I was wondering if we couldn’t have a concept of a frame item which is a virtual page that you can add to a layout letting you basically have two (or more) frames on a page side by side, with the atlas incrementing the currentAtlasFeature as it visits each frame.
