Apple Aperture 2 - Manual (Page 570)

570 Part IV Distribution and Backup
When you choose a theme, the Book Layout Editor provides a professionally designed
set of master pages that determine how you mix text and images on the page. For
example, you can choose among master pages that create a cover page, pages of text
in columns of various sizes, pages of images in different arrangements, and pages with
different combinations of images and text. You’ll find master pages provide a fast and
convenient method for quickly laying out a book.
When you first create a book album in the Projects inspector, Aperture automatically
creates a default set of pages for you. You then use the Book Layout Editor to format
your pages and create any additional pages you need.
