I did a photo book once when I was ward clerk at a BYU ward. It took a _LOT_ of time and I hope it was worth it, since I moved shortly after. I hope they were able to maintain the process, but I don't know... It was a openoffice document as a template for the picture book design. Then it had a macro that when you run would read from a database, which in this case was simply a csv file created by exporting names from MLS. (But I think I had to modify the csv file a little bit to fix a few things to how I wanted them.) Anyway, it was pretty sweet and it even grabbed pictures and pasted them in there. I think the name of the picture had to match the HofH ID. It was fun to watch it creating all the pages, one by one. Each page fit four families, so the picturebook size was 4.25 x 5.5. Then we punched two holes in the top of each booklet and used rings to hold it together. I don't know if it is in a working state or not but with a little bit of love, you could probably make it work again. So let me know if you want me to send you the file...
