Copy a book album

After you’ve set up a book structure that you like, you can reuse it for other book publication projects. For example, you might create a wedding album book structure that you reuse frequently.

You can select and duplicate a book album. You can then remove the photos from the album and replace them with others to fill the new book. Aperture can automatically flow the new photos into the duplicated book structure.
