Best way to go about it.

I have 34 chapters of a book. I have the book in Adobe Indesign which I can export to an epub. But the epub doesn't look so good. I can take the epub into Sigil and make it look great.
My question is should I open the entire book of 34 chapters and work on it like that or should I open one chapter at a time.
If I work on a chapter at a time how do I combine them together again for a book? Thanks,

Sigil takes care of the back-together part.
While Sigil works on one (active) chapter at a time, the whole is there for global operations (search and replace)..
You can reorder sections , simply dragging them to their new place in the book browser,.
Work on the stylesheet selectors and you effect a style change globally (IMHO the best place to style things).Margins, font-size, justification in one place.
IMHO avoid using the Sigil Bold,Italic,Underline, Justify buttons for any change that wil be reused on multiple pages.

Sigil the Title
Stylesheet the Chapter headings.
Sigil the Dedication
Stylesheet the chapter paragraphs

Since you have a working EPUB, you probably will be just tuning the styles.
