Yes, IMHO. There are times when editing when book view is essential - not even preview is good enough without distorting the whole layout.

Things like asterisks between divisions of a chapter - better to centralize them but that's difficult to spot in code view unless you READ the code (as opposed to glancing at it to check).

Although I normally use code view to edit, in practice I'm forever switching between that and book view - and dividing books into chapters is a doddle in book view, a real pain in code view.

I may be the only one, but sorry Notjohn, I'd be lost without the ability to switch instantly to bookview while editing in code view.
