Pdfatlas appears to use a custom rendering language, and I'd rather avoid that. It also hasn't been updated in 5 years.
What I'm considering writing is a set of python scripts that build the map with mapnik and then piece the pages together. Do you think inkscape is the easiest way to build the PDFs from the command line?

Getting a nice printable booklet working has been on my todo list for ages - there is a rough implementation of it in the townguide code, but that is really a proof of concept rather than a finished work. I must admit to not developing townguide recently, but if there is demand for this, I will have a go at getting a booklet implementation working....you will have to give me a few weeks though, but the code is all open source, so if you would like to work on it, I can explain how it works. I think there is another option called pdfatlas - This is aiming to do something similar, but I failed to get it working when I tried - can't remember why though - worth searching on the OSM wiki for it. Regards Graham.
