Q: Merging two Aperture Books

I have tried following all the directions I could find.  Let's call my book files Book1 and Book 2.  I exported Book2 to my mac as "book as library"  This appears to work.   I then highlight Book1 and choose Import library.  I end up with a book called Book2 (1) which is a duplicate of Book2.

 

Am I doing something wrong?  Is there a way to merge two different books?

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

    It is simply not possible. You can merge two Aperture libraries and move the photos from one book to another, but you cannot move the pages you played out to a different book.

    As a work-around you could print one book to PFD or JPEG and then simply add the JPEGS as full page images to the book, but the quality would suffer.

    For a full-quality merge, add the photos from the second book to the first, and then copy and paste all texts from the first to the second.
