Hi guyz!
This might sound a lil noobish to some of y'all, but yea I'm actually a noob in drupal overriding.
My problem is that I wanted to theme the BOOK MODULE (book-navigation.tpl.php and book.css to be precise). I achieved what I wanted, but the problem is where to save my own version (instead of saving it in the BOOK MODULE's folder). It will mean hacking if I save mine it in the position of the original.
Please like I said earlier, I'm a noob at this - WHERE THE HELL DO I STORE THE ONES I EDITTED.
Cheers!

I might be mistaken but I
I might be mistaken but I believe you save it in your theme folder, next to page.tpl.php, node.tpl.php, etc. Book.css can go there as well.

It would help if you mentioned which version of drupal you were using.
To learn about drupal theming see http://drupal.org/theme-guide

The theme version
I'm using drupal 6. I've tried saving it to my themes folder, but ain't working.
You can usually overwrite
You can usually overwrite book.css in style.css, if you really want to have it in a separate css make sure that your book.css is listed in the .info file for your theme.
You may also need to clear Drupal's cache and give the theme thingi a kick to get the changes to show up if you've recently dropped in the .tpl.php, sometimes they take their sweet time registering. That and you also have to make sure you renamed the page correctly, I'm not sure what the protocol is for overriding templates these days as I've managed to use modules for most of the stuff I was overriding (aside from page and node and possibly block :)

Still on
I've got the book.css figured out, but what I want to know is where to store my new book-navigation.tpl.php file instead of overriding the original.

As clearly described in the theme guide, custom template files go in the theme directory and you must clear the theme registry to have them detected.

Forgive me
Forgive me, but how do I clear the theme registry?
Site configuration >>>
Site configuration >>> performance, clear cache (button at the bottom of the page). That usually does the trick.

You really should at least look at the documentation-- it's a bit unreasonable to expect people in the forums to retype existing documentation: http://drupal.org/node/173880#theme-registry.

Thanks for all the comments.
Thanks for all the comments. I've got it sorted out................. I'll post a link to the site very soon so that you'll see the out come. It's really looking super sweet. The best Book Navigation I've seen.
In case someone uses the
In case someone uses the Outline module - you have to modify the files used there in order to customise the book layout / appearance.
I have tried to move the Outline-navigation.tpl.php to my customized theme and to make the changes there, but so far it did not work and I had to make the changes in the Outline directory. At least it is not part of the core installation.
