Ok. For a truly automated approach, purchase and install FrameScript. Then

Loop for each file in the book object
Initialize an object variable with the last page object in the file
Determine whether the page contains any text

LastPageObject is a page object variable)
EndIf
EndLoop
The BgdNone property sets the master page background property to none.
