I'm not sure what tool is best to use for creating the text and the page
layout (personally I use LaTeX for complex stuff like that but clearly
that isn't to everyone's taste). But I can tell you how to create the
booklet. Use the psutils.

So say you have your document formatted for legal (8.5x11). Print it to
a postscript file, say doc.ps. Then do this:

psbook doc.ps | psnup -2 > booklet.ps
