FrameMaker 8 books advice please

["Laura Fergusson" <l -dot- fergusson -at- codestuff -dot- net>]

Dear all

 

This is my first message to the group so I hope it is okay.

 

I have started using FrameMaker again after a break of over a year (now
version 8).  I am using conditional text heavily as we have  three sets
of product literature to maintain.

 

There are a few files which are specific to only one or other of the the
products.  Should I 

 

a)      Stick to having one book file and add/delete the files as
necessary depending on which product I am dealing with

b)      Have a separate book file for each of the product sets, with
just the relevant files for that set contained in each?

 

I tend towards the latter solution myself but I am just getting the hang
again of FrameMaker and I am not sure it's the correct approach.

 

Please help!

Thanks

Laura
