View to list subpages of the most recent child of a certain book

Greetings to all!

I am setting up an on-line magazine and want to build a view that would show the table of contents of the latest issue.

I organised it as follows: the magazine is a top-level book, each issue is a child page of that book.

Now I need a permalink (to a view, I guess) that would list the articles within the latest issue.

I found how to build a view displaying the most recent page of a certain parent in a book hierarchy, or subpages of any page, and I have an SQL query that lists the nodes I need. Yet I want to do it in the most Drupal way, which I believe is using a page view.

Thanks in advance,
Piotrek
