Erin,

Are you setting the pagination in the individual files or in the book 
window?  The book window settings will override the file settings.  Also 
make sure there are no blank pages remaining in the topic files.  Even 
with Remove Blank Pages set, blank pages may remain if they contain 
invisible items like empty frames or text lines, or if they use any 
master page other than default left/right.

HTH,
