Hi John,

You don't really need a plug-in -- a few keystrokes will do the trick in 
a matter of seconds.  You already know Step 1:

1. In the Book window, activate File > Close All Files in Book
(Esc f C   or   Alt + Shift + F  c).

2. Press and hold the N key until the last of the confirmation dialog
boxes disappears.

You're done.

HTH,

IMO calling it something like Abandon Changes and Close Book would help
to set expectations.

Hi John,

Such a plug-in would be easy to write. It also sounds like a sure-fire
way to get lots of hate mail when it performs exactly as designed.  
Software dutifully follows the actions of the user, whereas the user
expects the software to follow his intentions.

Perhaps if said plugin were activated by the Shift-Alt-F File menu, listed just 
below Close All Files in Book, the feared hate mail might be minimal.  ;-)

FileTools does this .. although it closes all open files, not just those 
in a particular book.

http://leximation.com/tools/info/filetools.php

It does warn you twice before performing this action, just to be sure. 
No hate-mail yet!  :)

Cheers,

...scott
