I meant I need the user to always know which page they are on.  The Toolbook 
clearly shows this because they are like toggle buttons, but the listbook just 
highlights when clicked and if clicked elsewhere then it isn't very obvious 
which page you are on.

Would I be better off implementing my own book using a scrolled widget to 
contain buttons?

My only other choice is to put some type of title on the page but I don't 
really want to waste that kind of room and I really need the pictorial tabs 
like these type of books provide
