Collaboration on book edit
I work in collaboration with another photographer, we are working on a book from different locations, we both mirrored hard drives with multiple folder containing shoots.
can someone help with the best work flow for one of us to be able to create and edit, (either through edit folders or tagging and rating individual images) that does not create a huge file size that would inhibit sending the project back and forward to one another?

Hm, can you agree that only one is working on each folder at the same time, and after fone folder is finished, you synchronize with each other?
So for example, user1 is working on images in folder1, folder2 and folder3, then sends his edits to user2 who copies the edits into his folders. User2 then also works on folder1 and folder3 and sends his edits back to user1.
Meanwhile user2 has finished folder 4, 7 and 8 he sends his edits to user1, etc. etc.
Both of you should create a session. When browsing to folder1, C1 will create a subfolder CaptureOne having both, the edits (subfolder Settingsxxx) and the cache items (previews, thumbnails). You can decide if you only want to send the edits and the cache, or only the edits (and the cache items would be created by C1 on the receiving user).
Same C1 version needed (maybe same operating system Mac or Windows), and same preview size in preferences recommended (if sharing the cache items).
Never tried with two users but that's how I sometimes synchronize my desktop with my notebook. Make an end to end test before go live.

I think you need a Digital Asset Management for editorial systems. I remember Canto Cumulus and Extensis Portfolio can do this, but it's little bit an overdose for two photographers only and as far I know you can't do edits.
Maybe a work around could be "Capture One Live" feature. But this means only one source, not two. So far, you can do ratings and colour labels. I red somewhere on C1's website, there are plans for more annotations in the future. It would be great if you could do also share adjustments, or let somebody else let do the boring IPTC metadata homework for you;-)
Another idea would be, as you both have the same images and write and share XMP files (e.g. Dropbox) and sync them back and merge the annotations. But this doesn't contain the adjustments.

The ask is for "...that does not create a huge file size..."
FirstName LastName needs to agree with his collegue on who is working when on which image folder and then exchange the settings folder of this image folder.
