All of that sounds like it takes a while, and at first it does. But I have a staging area for this work, the table where photos are taken, the mailers, a scale, tape, and templates in FrontPage along with the USPS web site to calculate postage. The most time consuming part is transcribing the blurb (into Notepad) on the back cover of each book. I drop it into FrontPage, Photoshop the photos, and launch the thing.
