Is there a clean way to delete a book (including all child pages)?

When you're deleteing orphan pages (at administer > content > books > orphan pages), is it supposed to keep going back to the content screen?  It'd be nice to be able to delete multiple orphan pages at once, but perhaps I deserve this problem if there is a way to cleanly delete a book.  ^.^;;
