How would I have multiple content types of the book module? I need two separate book arrangements, each with their own sets of permissions, views, etc. Is there a module that will do this or can I do it with the basic installation somewhere or can I install the book module multiple times somehow (book module2)?

I couldn't get this to work with CCK. I exported the book content type (copied text) then pasted it into the import (with content type ). I received the error:
* The content type book already exists in this database.
* Exiting. No import performed.
I then made a new blank content type first, and exported to that. No error, but it was a regular node and not a book type node.

I got what Sree suggested to work. I pasted the code from the export to import and then manually change the "type" to book and changed all the names by adding a "2" after them.
However this didn't perform what I need it to do. It created a book2 type, however the original book type can post pages in the book2. Also you can't change permissions for book2 (I assume they take on the normal book permissions). So with this method I can't create two separate book catalogs with separate permissions. Anyone have any ideas?

What if I were to take the book module and change every "book" into "book2", essentially giving me a separate parallel module. Would this work? Would I have to make additional alterations?

Three years later, trying to solve the same problem. Is there any standard solution now?
I've looked at Outline, which says it allows you to set permissions per book. But I need an actual separate book-based content type, because I want to enable Revisioning on that content type but not on the main Book type. Any creative ideas?
