Hello,
I've read several times that the only way to get a custom book size in the book module is to edit/create one in Illustrator or Scribus. In this interview with Kevin Tieskoetter he mentions that he would be documenting this process, so I imagine it's allready doable.
"All of the templates we ship with Lightroom are made using Illustrator, and I'll be documenting the process for creating those. We've also successfully made templates using InDesign and the freeware tool called Scribus, so if you need templates in different sizes, you'll have a range of options."

I want to try this. But where do I find the files that I'm to edit? Where do they reside on my computer? I'm using a Mac OSX 10.6.8 and can't seems to find anything that resembles tenplate files. Not sure what I should be looking for?

Indeed ... Kevin T. made the promise of "documenting" the process in that article posted February 7, 2012 ... here it is August 13, 2012 ... still no documentation ... it must be extremely difficult to parse this information ... I would think he could have found the time in over a six month period to share the info ... and they say Apple is a secretive company ...
The templates are stored somewhere within the content folder of the Lightroom application itself ... while I have peeked there myself, I wouldn't recommend poking around there until we have the proper steps available ... it could be very rsiky to the app as a whole if one would make an error in the process of creating a custom template ...
In fact ... this customization should have been built within the module itself ... and should have been the very first feature implemented ... but then it wouldn't have been in Blurb's best interest if users could use any printer service they liked ...
