Thanks for the praise, they are doing very well. There seems to be very few tutorials on book formatting especially for Scribus. In fact Steve's was the only one I found. I had already produced a couple of books (using the old school trial & error) and found Steve's tutorial very helpful.
Good luck to you as well.
