Well, I can tell you from very recent experience that even a relatively
short 250 pages book cannot be managed when three authors work on it
concurrently. It has been hard enough with separate files. I look back
in horror at the hours spent with diff and emacs on single chapters. I
can only shudder at the thought of passing the whole file back and
forth!
