Hello everyone, I've make a book in lightroom but now I've realized that it's too big, I want to make 2 books out of one, is there a possibility to transform the big book I've done in two books? I will print it with blurb.

Thank yoh for your answers

You have a book with Pages A > Z

1) You will work with the Saved Book Collection, (NOT a standard collection you might have used initially..)

2) Duplicate the Saved Book Collection A>Z in the Collections panel. [Right-Click] and [Duplicate the book] - "...Copy"

3)  Duplicate the Saved Book Collection A>Z a second time. "...Copy 2".

Now you have three versions the same- The Original A>Z kept for 'backup' and two copies.

4) Edit Book "...Copy"  and delete pages M > Z

5) Edit Book "...Copy 2"  and delete pages A > L

6) Rename the copies as suitable- eg. Part 1, Part 2.

Result you have two books  (A>L) and (M>Z) to edit individually.  (as well as you original A>Z book for security).
