When I export book to PDF I get two PDFs, one of the cover and the other is the rest of the book. How do I get only one PDF of the entire book?

You cannot in LrC. As @JohanElzenga suggests - use an app to combine two PDFs.

Or, maybe a silly suggestion- Something like this - Create your A) Front Cover and B) Back Cover in Photoshop and insert these images on A) Page 1 and B) last Page of the book design. (Discard the cover PDF that is produced)

Use a 'Duplicate Saved Book Collection' if you don't want to change your original book design.

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

Thank you. Since the cover PDF is both the front and back as a single image,
I decided to simply add 2 pages to the front and the back of the main book
and replicate the front and back cover images and text on those two pages.
This was done in the book module and worked out well.

I'm not sure if you can in Lightroom Classic, but there are lots of (free) utilities that can combine PDF files.
