A total of 12 "books" and each one had the same ~16 screens of fluff plus for the full stories and the prequel, the first chapter of the next story.

A few minutes with Sigil cleaned that up along with making the internal covers consistent and cut the length of the book by around 240 pages (ADE synthetic page number algorithm).
Another annoyance is when they use a separate CSS file for each book in an omnibus.
