Yikes!
Zarifkhan is that 250 page book just an example or what you're actually wanting to get into Freehand?
I spent many years in publishing and I would never layout a book in Draw or Freehand. Small publications, but not a book of that size.
Do you have an application designed to work with book layout? InDesign, or even Pagemaker. Ventura, something along those lines?
