Even this is no good for 1 sheet (4 pages) per signature. For the
so-called "perfect" binding method, if there is more than one sheet per
signature, then the sheets of each signature must be sewn together.
More than one sheet per signature also results in uneven edges when the
book is closed.
The only way I have been able to do this, after exporting to pdf and
using the booklet function, is to print pages 1 to 4, then pages 5 to
8, then pages 9 to 12, etc. This means that for a book of 200 pages, I
have to run 200/4=50 print jobs. I have one book which is a dictionary
consisting of 566 pages which means I have to run 142 print jobs. Of
course, these figures only apply to printing on a printer with duplex
capability. Otherwise, these figures are doubled.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work too well for large documents, but it's
fine for documents of 2 to 4 sheets. The larger documnts need to be
divided into smaller units. I prefer one sheet per unit so that I can
fold them and bind them at home. There is no easy way I have found to
do this.
The easiest way to do this is to Export as PDF. Then use a suitable PDF reader,
such as Adobe Reader, to Print Booklet on a duplex printer. This will shrink
the pages to the half size of the sheet and reorder the pages to the sheets in
the correct order, permitting one to print binding signatures (groups) of 16,
24 or 32 pages.
