This is my solution

open an Indesign or Illustrator file and place in it a several .PSD files each .PSD have his own name.

Now when you want to edit the booklet open the page that you want in Photoshop and edit then return to Indesign or Illustrator to export your work.

I'd like to use illustrator for my web layout, with swatches, symbol and multiple page handling, but...
but, I work for a company where PhotoShop is the way to interact with IT department.
I use a single psd file and layer comps to handle different state of my layout.
It's a bugged function, when you move a layer you have to re-check all comps but is the best compromise I've found.

I can only speak of personal experience, but I tend to contain my web designs in Photoshop to a single file with different layer groups, as suggested in the comments. This has the upside that all visual 'language' is identical, for I copy any layer I need from elsewhere in the file. No header type that accidentally has another font size, or standard colours that are just a tad off.

Even if not a single graphic element is shared between two pages, I still use the same file, to be able to pull styles and such from existing content instead of slipping up while copying them by hand.

The additional plus is that I need to organise my layers well in order to keep the document usable, never a bad thing. It also does set up the file to be used for presentation with layer comps, if needed.
