I have not done this with iTunes 12, but the process is probably pretty similar to previous versions.
Your biggest headache will come if the CD’s are not tagged well in the database Apple uses. I’ve had books that had different enough names between CDS that it took a long time to retag things so it would makes sense and play in order. Most books on CD seem to name each CD, book Title disc 1, Book title disc 2, and so on. If that doesn’t bother you, then you won’t have to deal with making sure each title is the same. Of course, that means when you read the book, it will be separated like that. The next issue is the track names/numbers. But, if all those happen to make sense then, before you import the CD, get to the options tab and select audio book as the “kind.” And select skip when shuffling and remember your place. Then, when you import it, it will show up as a book. If you import it without making sure it is set to audio book instead of music, it will just show up in music and you will have to go back and fix that later, which is more work. I would check all the CDs in the book before you begin importing to see what the naming conventions are. It is tedious and takes time, but it will pay off in the end. Or, buy the book from Audible and save yourself lots of time. It just depends on if your time is worth more than the cost of the book.
