Sorry for the delay - I wrote a response this morning and came back to see if it was useful, but something happened and it wasn't there - hopefully this time it saves.
As Eric mentions - there are probably some 3rd party apps to pull down multiple images at a time, but those are unlikely to give you your original resolution images (which you want/need for a high-quality photo book).
Hopefully you won't take this as a plug - b/c I haven't even made a book through this partner, but we do have a relationship w/ Blurb that will allow you to make books from your collection.

I've never made one myself, but have seen the finished product - they're impressive! You'd have to install their client (they support Mac peeps too) and then make your book - it's not iPhoto, but it's not 400 one-by-one downloads either. And looks like they're offering free shipping to Flickr users over the holidays.
Hope this helps...
I’m optimistic

Inappropriate?I've heard that FlickrDown (http://greggman.com/pages/flickrdown.htm) is a way to do this, but it is a PC app. I'm a Mac guy, so I haven't tried it.
I’m hoping someone is a PC user -- for once

Inappropriate?Excellent point, Tim. Those third-party apps will only give you back what Flickr has optimized for Flickr. So, the "original" images won't be pulled down; just the more Web-friendly, lo-res images.
I’m glad to see you here.

Inappropriate?tim:
thanks for the redirect to blurb. i am in the process of using blurb for the first time and finding it a little suboptimal from a UI perspective, which is why i thought i'd try, in parallel the iphoto route. you have some other solid partners with whom i tried to work but found them lacking in creative control. perhaps this is just not quite a mature space yet.
Ted, thanks for the redirect to blurb. that might be super helpful since it looks like i'm going to have to try a little harder...
I’m getting that satisfied feeling....

Inappropriate?tim:
i have to say that i've dived into blurb and its really quite good. thanks for the response and the encouragement to give it another try.
tommyp
I’m stoked!
