I've never written a book with OOo (yet!), but it looks to me as what 
you need to do is this:

1) Go to Format/layout/page
2)Check page size, orientation etc are what you want, and especially 
make sure that "Layout settings/ Page layout" reads "right and left" in 
the appropriate box
3)Click the "Header" tab in the same Format/layout/page dialogue, and 
there check "header on" and uncheck "same content left and right"
4) After any other page layout options you want to adjust, click "OK", 
and hopefully, you're away.

Hope your book becomes a run-away best-seller!
