</div></div>Book length projects have to be broken up but 35 pages is within the Scribus<br>
comfort zone. Give it a try.<br></blockquote><div><br>I can only suggest that the number of pages follows the imposition frame. To the least you’re going to need: an even number of pages (ad blank pages if necessary). Then, depending on the way the manual is going to be binded, multiplle of 2 might not be enough. You might need multiple of 4 or 8. I also suggest that you discuss early with your printer. Only to avoid deception and cost.<br>
