Best Practice for Starting Chapters with a Double-Page Spread in InDesign Book

Question

I’m using an .indb to create a guidebook that is both text and photo heavy, with separate .indd docs for the chapters. Each new chapter will start with a double page photo spread – what’s the best practice method to do this? Do I have to place half the photo at the end of the previous document? Thanks

Hi ​@_e_s, You can start and end book sections with a spread.When you set up the book documents make sure your General>Page Numbering>View Preferences are set to Section Numbering and not Absolute Numbering. Also set the Book’s Book Page Numbering Options to Continue from previous document and Automatically Update Page & Section Numbers is checked:
