I agree completely with Richard. 
The one additional hint I'd offer is that there is usually one file that is unique to each book (e.g. the title page), which you can use to contain the book-specific user variable definitions and conditional text settings. That way, all you have to do is use File>Import>Formats to import the variables and conditional text settings from the book-specific file to all the shared files before doing a book update and publishing. It makes it almost foolproof to publish multiple variants.
