Well, the book does harness collective intelligence and collaboration, but I personally think wikis do that best. In summary, I like the flexibility of interlinking (I think that's what it's called), of evolving large pages into smaller chunks, of categorizing pages, of discussion areas attached to each page.
I think an online book serves somewhat a different purpose and has a different structure than a wiki. A wiki's table of contents, for one, are going to be more topical than progressive like a book's ToC. I personally find book.cakephp.org's table of contents disorienting. Maybe I'm just dense. I probably don't have a solid philosophical presentation for my preference of a wiki. It's really just that, a preference.
