Hi all Thanks for your replies - they all pointed me in the right direction.
After a nice hot shower I realised part of my issue was the setting of ragged-bottom = ##t in the \paper block of the \book. What I didn't realise then (but have worked out now :-) ) is that I can put a \paper block into each \bookpart and then control the system-system spacing basic-distance there... And it works.
