What do you mean by "book format"? Double sided paper with two
pages per side that have the pages line up in the proper order so you
can staple the middle, fold it over, etc., to make your own book?
Personally I do not know of many free software that has a printing option
that does this.
You are saying that OOWriter> Print> Options> Brochure will only do this
for 4 "pages" (a single folded sheet)?
Depends what the OP wants. Writer will do a simple brochure format, as
others have said. But this is really just a way of fitting two (say)
portrait A5's onto a landscape A4 sheet and reordering the pages so that
it works when folded (it does work on more than 4 pages!!).
If I recall, more generally, books are printed with many pages to a
large sheet - in a strange order and half upside down. The large sheet
is folded multiple times - which 'magically' puts everything in the
right place, right-side up - and the edges cut. (No doubt there's some
technical term :-) ) This, it seems, Writer will not do (will Scribus???).
If memory serves, the program psnup will do much of this given a
postscript file, although IMBW.
