If there are any blank pages in your 64 page doc make sure you check Print Blank Pages under Print Settings>General. When you impose for a booklet page 1 and 64 will be combined into a spread so there will be 32 spreads.

You can try Acrobat's Booklet feature as Bob suggests, but there is no Perfect Binding/Signature options. There's also no Creep setting

Which version of InDesign and OS?

Are you printing this to your own desktop printer or sending it out to a commercial printer?

I already solved it, the option "print blank pages" wasn't checked

Export a PDF and use the booklet feature in Acrobat. You’ll get far better results.
