I would like to know if it is possible to combine several books each with its own TOC, into one big master book with a master TOC which is made up of the TOCs from each book. If it is possible, could you show me how to do it.

Thanks!!!
 
Sure is. Create your individual books as usual. When they're done, generate and update them one last time and then import add contents (chapter files as well as generated files) into the master book. Make sure you add the individual books' TOCs as regular files and not as generated TOCs (IOW, use the Add > File and not Add > Table of Contents). Then, once all your books are added, update the numbering but do not update pagination, and then create a new generated TOC that spans all the files in the master book. B I L L S W A L L O W
