"As designed" means that you set the numbering of the component files
in the Book, and from your description it sounds as if you're
controlling numbering by setting each component file's local settings.

Assuming each of your documents is a discrete file, in the Book
window, right click the first document in a "new topic" series.
Right-click, select Numbering, and on the Page tab, set it up to start
at page 1. Set and save. Then select all the subsequent files in the
topic, right-click > numbering > select Continue numbering... Set and
save again.

Update the book, check the numbering, and if it's working, repeat for
your other topic sets.

Cheers,
Art
