Provide a way to create new pages completely from scratch by laying out the position of the picture frames and text frames instead of using just the provided templates. I like to do my own layouts that match the text.
Also can we have double page layouts where they are linked and cannot be broken apart.

Agree. Adobe will you please fix this!
To have A4 portrait and landscape page sizes would allow scaling up or down for the international paper sizes. Adobe , please implement this.
I am wondering how this feature was not added to Lightroom, being asked five years ago. Seriously, is there someone listening to us?
This feature is asked everywhere... in forums, in all places.
I would love this be treated urgently, and added immediately in the next update, please.

- How many years we have to wait to be able to have our custom book size pages?

Wow, this is so depressing. I was getting ready to make a book and am disappointed to read all of these comments with no response from Adobe.
Incredibly disappointing that nothing has changed in 5 years. That's right FIVE YEARS. Clearly Adobe simply do not care that this thread is pleading for Custom Books and Templates. When I recently opened Lightroom I was asked if I would recommend Lightroom and also what would make the product better. My comment was that the Book module needs to allow Custom Book sizes and Custom template design. Users want to be able to place images and text wherever they want on the page at any angle and any size within the confines of the book size. This idea that you restrict users to built in book sizes and templates is just ridiculous. This product could be so much better with some serious attention to giving users what they've been screaming out for in the last FIVE YEARS. I cannot put my hand on my heart and recommend Lightroom when people ask me if you can create books of your own dimension and layout. I tell them that the Book module is very restrictive.

... non open source coder in the world since 5 year to "fix" this ? that's frustrated...
I'm happy to announce that I created an online tool that allows you to create your own templates using some DTP software. It's still in its early stages and I welcome feedback. Hope you find it useful!

When is Adobe going to address this?
It's been 6 years since this thread began. With that said, it appears Adobe is never going to address this. My guess is they enjoy the kickbacks from Blurb too much to rock the boat and care little what their end users who wish to use other providers think.
Besides, they seem to have put all their marbles into Lightroom Mobile of late and no longer seem interested in 'Old Tech' like printed books.

In addition to wanting to be able to create my own templates for book pages, I also want Adobe and Blurb to include Lay Flat pages as an option.

Lightroom 7.5 was released earlier today with new features that allow for custom page creation. Give it a try!
Sounds great unless you prefer to print your photo books/albums using a service other than Blurb. Then the situation relegates the Book module to the level of a cruel joke.
Unless you are aware of another printer service that can utilize the Blurb template page sizes, margins, gutter and bleed parameters.

Thanks for that. And now, please please add support for custom page sizes in Book module, not just custom layout with fixed Blurb sizes, which are of no use if you print in other sizes, like A-sizes or anything custom. I would rather have custom page size over custom layouts, as I try to print books myself, but can't use Blurb sizes.
