Its not immediately obvious to me how to allow a user to delete a book page. Is there a way to do this or is this only allowed for the site admin (user 1)?

I'm also interested how to allow user page deletion without giving away "administer node" permission.

edit the page, and hit the delete button at the bottom ?

The above assumes you have given the user role the edit own book page permission in administer -> access control -> book module

"edit own book pages" IS set for "content editor" role
at the same time there is NO delete button when I log as a user, not admin.
[Preview] and [Submit] only.

Are you sure you have unchecked "administer nodes" for the role?
Please confirm.

my apologies, you are correct. I logged back in with a role that did have that permission set. Thus there seems to be no ability to delete unless given the admin nodes permission.

The problem has been resolved by tiny patch grabbed from year 2005 topic

The only way I see to resolve this issue is apply a patch to book module like clydefrog does at
http://drupal.org/node/21559

line 42 now looks like
if ($op == 'update' || $op == 'delete') {
