master index of multiple book

[Bill Swallow]

It's been years since I've done this, but I think I got around this by
creating one large master book using all content from all other books,
not messing with page numbering, using a variable in each consumed
book's chapters to indicate which book it is, and then using that
variable in my Index definition. I'd then set the numbering properties
just for my index file so it looks like it's its own document,
generate it, and then only publish that index file (with cover and
what have you). Granted, this is all from memory from many years ago,
so it might not be 100% accurate but what we did worked very well at
that time.
