LrC Book Module Only Imports First 240 Images — How to Add More to Your Photo Book

I have a Collection of more than 240 images. The Book module will only import the first 240 into the Filmstrip and Book Layout. By placing multiple images on some pages, the Book is now only 187 pages. How do I import additional images beyond the first 240 in the Collection so as to have a Book that is 240 pages long but with many more images than that?

"How do I import additional images beyond the first 240 in the Collection"-

1.  Be sure you have created a SAVED book collection. (Not a standard collection you might have used to start a new book)

2. *Optional: Set the Saved book collection as the 'Target Collection'.

3. Return to Grid view  [G],

4. Select photos to add to the book.

5. Simply drag thumbnail images to the Saved book collection, or if a Target collection*, Press keyboard [B] to add these selected photos to the Saved book collection.

6. [Double-click] the Saved book collection to re-open the book design and drag the added photos in the filmstrip onto new book pages.

240 pages is a Blurb  limit.

Hey!  @donr92377417

Can you share a screenshot of your workspace when in the Book module? Make sure that the "Book Settings" are visable.

Many thanks, CM. I just tried to send you the screenshot, but I got a
response saying that my message was too large to be sent. How do I fix
that?
