    Chapter based book, I'm getting 'too many' page breaks (chapters less
    than a page long).
    There appears to be no pagination based params to control this?

    Convert to article to reduce length? Is that the only option please?

    Have you set force.blank.pages to 0? I have some short chapter-based
    books and I found they looked more sensible after removing the empty
    pages.

    Yes... but it wouldn't help with tiny chapters? I'm thinking I have to
    go to article layout, not a big job for this piece.

    Thanks Peter.

    Yes, each chapter starts a new fo:page-sequence, so you have to convert
    book->article and chapter->section before processing to get desired output.

    Done, not a big job. Easier once I added the front page processing :-)
    I'm sure there's a good reason for new page-sequence.

    Tks Jirka.
