Consider this more of a suggestion/comment than a feature request.

I just saw this module: http://drupal.org/project/interface_sortable
And I'm pretty impressed by how it works. Would it make sense to make bookgui work with this API instead of implementing its own Javascript? Although it doesn't look like it supports multiple levels and moving between levels, so maybe not (yet)...

Yeah I've had this suggestion before, but as you say, the sortable API in Interface.js has some difficulties with multi-nested lists. There actually is a really good interface-built script someone has written which handles multiple nested lists nicely, but I had difficulties implementing it so I gave up.

I am planning a new generation BookGUI which will also included editable titles, and will actually respect the order of the pages when you move them around. Another thought is to allow users to use a JS GUI to allow for simplier creation of new pages.

I've completed work on this. I need to build a couple of images, and then I'll submit a new version of this module, which is much better than the prototype version.

Actually I mispoke. I am using Interface.js, which is a jquery plugin, which I'm sure Interface sortable is using. Not sure if there will be any collisions between these two modules or not. Anyway, check out the demonstration page, this module is awesome now.
