Yes, most large sizes will have long grain direction. The problem is exactly
as you mention, once you go to smaller sheets manufacturers are cutting in
any direction they feel will generate the most amount of money. This is fine
but then they mix and match and do not label the grain direction because
they cannot guarantee the direction of grain.

If you are working with master sheets than it sounds like you should be able
to plan accordingly for your book project.

Eric, The Sommerset Book paper I mentioned comes in rather large sheets,
26x40. When platinum printing I noticed most full size sheets had the grain
all running one way. It was only on smaller sizes that grain started to
change from one direction to another.
