[Tex/LaTex] Splitting one volume into two

book-designtable of contents

I've written a thesis and it's ready for submission but unfortunately the page limit for a volume is 300 pages and my thesis is 324. It has been decided that the solution is to split the appendices from the main text and put it in a separate volume.

What I need now is to have a contents page that says:

Volume one
Chapter 1  blah..... 1
Chapter 2  blah..... 4
...

Volume two
Appendix 1 ...... A1
Appendix 2 ...... A3
Appendix 3 ...... A12 
...

This contents page should appear in both volumes. Once as it currently is and once at the beginning of volume two.

My preamble is:

I realise that this is similar to Split a book into multiple volumes but the numbering and format demands are different.

I will describe a way to go with the book class using etoc. The code sample is minimal but you should be able to transfer the relevant parts to your real use case.

see update below in response to question asked in comment

Here are the two tables of contents (with correct hyperlinks):

split in two

split in two B

Code:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{etoc}

\newcommand{\TableOfContents}{%
 \centerline{\LARGE\scshape Thesis Contents}
 \vspace{0.5cm}
 \markboth{\MakeUppercase\contentsname}{\MakeUppercase\contentsname}
 \phantomsection
 \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Thesis contents}
 \etocsettagdepth {VolumeOne}{all}
 \etocsettagdepth {VolumeTwo}{none}
 \etocsettocstyle {\section*{Volume One}}{\bigskip}
 \tableofcontents
 \etocsettagdepth {VolumeOne}{none}
 \etocsettagdepth {VolumeTwo}{all}
 \etocsettocstyle {\section*{Volume Two}}{\cleardoublepage}
 \tableofcontents
}


\begin{document}
\etocdepthtag.toc {VolumeOne}

\frontmatter
\vspace*{1cm}
\begin{center}
\huge\bfseries Volume One:\\ Oscillation Theory and Beyond
\end{center}
\vspace{2cm}
\TableOfContents

\mainmatter
\chapter{Foo}
\blindtext
\chapter{Bar}
\blindtext

\backmatter 
\etocdepthtag.toc {VolumeTwo}

\vspace*{1cm}
\begin{center}
\huge\bfseries Volume Two:\\ Appendices
\end{center}
\vspace{2cm}
\TableOfContents

\chapter{Appendix}
\blindtext
\chapter{Another appendix}
\blindtext

\end{document}

Here is now a variant where the TOC in the Volume Two only lists the appendices. Also the page numbering is restarted for Volume Two.

split in two C

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{etoc}

\newcommand{\TableOfContents}{%
 \centerline{\LARGE\scshape Thesis Contents}
 \vspace{0.5cm}
 \markboth{\MakeUppercase\contentsname}{\MakeUppercase\contentsname}
 \phantomsection
 \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Thesis contents}
 \etocsettagdepth {VolumeOne}{all}
 \etocsettagdepth {VolumeTwo}{none}
 \etocsettocstyle {\section*{Volume One}}{\bigskip}
 \tableofcontents
 \etocsettagdepth {VolumeOne}{none}
 \etocsettagdepth {VolumeTwo}{all}
 \etocsettocstyle {\section*{Volume Two}}{\cleardoublepage}
 \tableofcontents
}


\begin{document}
\etocdepthtag.toc {VolumeOne}

\frontmatter

\etocsettagdepth {VolumeTwo}{all}
\etocsettocstyle {\section*{\contentsname}\phantomsection
                  \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\contentsname}}
                 {\cleardoublepage}
