I seems that this is another instance of the problem mentioned at bug 15073: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15073 What is needed is a "set of special pages for handling meta-organization of books", but this depends on bug 15071 (Wikibooks custom database schema): https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15071 <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15071>for which doesn't have any progress since 2008-09-16...
