The schema uses fixes signatures of 8 logical pages, layed out on a single sheet, printed recto-verso.

To get a booklet out of this schema, you first have to cut the sheets along the x-axys in the middle, then fold each half along the y-axys, stack them, repeat for each sheet, and finally glue or bind the spine. (Hence the name of the module).

Does it sound weird? Well, kind of. Looks like a lot of manual work. But if it works for you, it works for me as well.
