I have a very large document (1000+pages) that I need to produce as four separate volumes. I'm using Texmaker and TeXLive on a Win7 PC with the book class (too late to switch to memoir), and each chapter is a separate included file with the document structure in the main file. The first 3 volumes contain the main body of the document, and the 4th contains the appendices.
The volumes need to meet the following requirements:
each volume has its own custom title page
each volume continues numbering (page nums excluding front matter, section and fig/tab numbering, etc) from the previous
the "management summary" needs to be in the frontmatter of each volume following the title page
each volume needs its own 3-level toc and its lists, but also needs an abbreviated 1-level toc (preferably without pg numbers) for all of the other volumes
the appendixes are their own volume
bibliography for whole document needs to appear at the end of each volume
I'm new-ish to LaTeX, but this project has been a serious crash course. I'm looking at the volumes and shorttoc packages, but I'm not quite sure how to structure the main document for the repeating sections or custom title pages. To add some complexity, Volume 3 has two parts...
Any suggestion would be very much appreciated... deadline is coming up and I'm still scratching my head trying to figure this out. There doesn't seem to be much in any forums about doing multi-volume productions like this.

I'm currently using an \includeonly list to do it (not shown for brevity), but there seems that there should be a better way than what I have set up?
\usepackagepreamble items and such that I can post if it looks to be necessary... – JSCard Apr 02 '15 at 19:47.tocand.auxfiles for the other volumes. that way it's easy to apply individual title pages and other front matter. the bibliography can be included in all four with no modifications. are the page numbers for the body consecutive, or do they start over with each part? – barbara beeton Apr 02 '15 at 20:01.tocand.auxfiles, though... pull them in how? Haven't done anything yet with working on those files directly... mainly just repeatedly using the quickbuild function of Texmaker. Can you be more specific about the process you're describing? – JSCard Apr 02 '15 at 20:10\setcounter{nnn}with the proper starting page number (not necessry for the first part; that will automatically = 1) and compile. you will get a.auxfile, a.tocfile, and maybe an.idxfile. when this is "final", you can copy the.tocand.aux files to a different name and\input` to the other parts. want this as an answer? – barbara beeton Apr 02 '15 at 20:19etocwhich is not for the faint of heart;).] – cfr Apr 03 '15 at 02:15\begin{document}in each driver file. that would include page, chapter, maybe figure (unless they're numbered within chapters), ... the reason i do this sort of thing as multiple jobs is that, for such publications at the ams, each volume has independent\frontmatterand\backmatter, and resetting those properly entails more pain than i want to suffer. it's also easier to explain to a production editor, and write instructions for how to pull in extra tocs, etc. – barbara beeton Apr 03 '15 at 12:32\usepackageand customization preable as well? Let me try a few test runs to work out the kinks and I'll let you know how it goes. Any thoughts on whether theshorttocpackage might be useful for doing the toc format for the other volumes like they want it? I gather the package can pull form external files... might save some mucking about with the.tocfiles? – JSCard Apr 03 '15 at 16:28shorttocin anger. settingtocdepthto appropriate values in appropriate places takes care of "slimming down" the contents lists of the "other" parts. and yes, you do want to use the same preamble; you could even make it into a job-specific.styfile to make sure you don't get things out of synch. – barbara beeton Apr 03 '15 at 16:36
