This looks like a nice approach if I did not have to specify any BOOK
drawers. That is, if there would be a way to export _only_ the contents
of HANDOUT drawers so that the macros, elements etc. outside the drawers
would still be applicable.

It also seems that the scope of a drawer can not include a new
headline. That is, the following does not seem to work:

# --------------------------------------------------------------------
#+TITLE: drawer-test
#+OPTIONS: d:(not "HANDOUT")

* testing drawers
** part of the main text
   :HANDOUT:
** only in handouts
   :END:
   :HANDOUT:
   also just in handouts
   :END:
# --------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks! I will keep this in mind when I try out different things.
