I really appreciate all of your input so far. Thank you! Unfortunately,
we haven't yet found the answer. I did trip over something that may
"click" with someone though.
In each case, if I change the conditional settings to "Show All" and set
the pagination settings to "Next Available [Page]" and "Delete Empty
Pages", I don't have the blank pages at the end. When I change the
conditional settings to show only the conditions appropriate to the PDF,
I get the blank pages in the FM as well as the PDF. I can see the
pilcrow marking the end of the document so I don't know what FM thinks
is beyond that point.

Ah, if I understand correctly, the problem is with your FM pagination
settings. Your files may need to have Format > Page Layout >
Pagination settings changed to Don't Change Page Count. I'm not sure
whether Double or Single-Sided is best for your purposes…your mileage
may vary!

I know the pages won't concantenate, but I would like the blank pages
@ the end of each FM to be deleted so there's no more than a partial
page blank before the next Heading 1.
The reason there are so many fm's is because, when I first started
out (and there's no way to know how much was user error, software or
hardware limitations, but...) any file size over, I think just under
1Mb, tended to crash the system. I'd consider combining them all now
but that would break a WHOLE lot of links! I'll think about it, but
I'm too close to deadline to rearrange anything now.
(Please write faster! Waiting to see your book! ;-) )

I see extreme page breaks (as on p177 of the PDF), but no empty
pages. Are you trying to get the pages to "concatenate"?
If so, I recommend combining the files into one FM file per chapter.
There's no way to have a new FM file start at the end of the
previous file without creating a text inset.
The folder structure you're using in the book file is intended for
sectioning and volume control, not for segmenting at the chapter level.
An interesting note: (I was just writing this up in my book today…)
Right-click on the Prep folder, and notice that there is the ability
to name the section (uses the $chaptertitle variable), and to
indicate the template file that should be used to create the divider
page within your book.
