A better solution (IMHO) is to use what I've been using: psutils

I export to postscript and the use the utility pstops from the psutils
package (not a LaTeX package, it's a package of programs).

>From the manpage:
Pstops rearranges pages from a PostScript document, creating  a  new 
PostScript  file.   The input PostScript file should follow the Adobe
Document Structuring  Conventions. Pstops  can be used to perform a large
number of arbitrary re-arrangements  of  Documents,  including  arranging 
for printing  2-up, 4-up, booklets, reversing, selecting front or back
sides of documents, scaling, etc.


I've used it to make 16 page signatures on A3 sheets, printed on a duplex
printer it works perfect for bookbinding.
