How can I get saddle stitch to work across several chapters in the book panel?

Question

I have been able to get saddle stitching to work perfectly if I print from a single InDesign document by going to “Print Booklet”. The problem I am having is that I can’t get it to work across several documents that are from the same book. The position of the pages is only correct from within the chapter that is selected. In other words it will put the first and last page number from the chapter on the same page but only from within that chapter not the whole book. The way saddle stitching should work is to have the first page of the book and the last page of the book on the same piece of paper. How can I get that to work? I have been flipping through books and the internet for quite some time and I can't find the answer to this.
Your help is much appreciated. I have been working on this book for a long time (my first one) and I am looking forward to finally getting this completed!

For some reason Adobe never saw it fit to allow Print Booklet to work from the Book Panel!
Weird
Workaround -
Export the Whole Book to a PDF
Create a new document of the same dimensions
Look up Zanelli Multi Page Import for InDesign

Then Print Booklet from the New Document.
The important thing to remember is that InDesign is a page layout tool. Yes it can allow you output single documents in a booklet it's a nice feature.
Ultimately though impositions should be done by printers themselves using specialised Imposition Software.
If you need to do this quite often then I think you should look into Quite Imposing plugin for Acrobat.
