Dan, This is a non-trivial undertaking because you need to be able to maintain your context (i.e. which book are you currently browsing, so that you know which page is the next/previous, etc.) some related links: An existing contrib module: http://drupal.org/project/relativity This implements more general tree structures and could provide useful code and ideas.

Here's my situation:
I'm in the process of importing dozens of paper (Word document) manuals into my Drupal intranet site as books.
One of the main goals of this project is to reduce redundancy... in the word-document / file share set up, each manual is duplicated five times, once for each region in which my company operates. Some of the documents are identical across all regions, yet we still maintain 5 copies of the document. (Yikes!) Others are unique to a region (thus the separate copies of the manuals).
This brings us to my dilema: It seems that the book module won't allow the same node to be placed in multiple books, meaning my goal of redundancy reduction is out the window!
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to accomplish the functionality I'm looking for (adding a single node to multiple books)?
I'm sure I could hack the book module to make it work, but I've really been trying not to tamper with core modules.
Has there been any discussion on this topic before? Does anyone wish to discuss the possibility of adding this to the book module officially?
Thanks for any input.
Dan
