Issue Summary
We should remove the dependency on using the Book module.
The entry form can be a simple content type.
The selection can be a derived view.
I am not entirely certain how this will effect exporting, however from my point of view using this module, I don't really understand the dependency on Book.

#1
Using nodes outside of the book structure will make Advanced Help pages that are islands, instead of an integrated, navigable whole. We can remove the dependency on book module as soon as we have an alternate (more generalized) way of selecting which node to link to. Views is my current thought, but it might make sense to look at piggybacking on the nodereference_explorer module: http://drupal.org/project/nodereference_explorer

As I found book.module seemed unnecessary, but is actually helpful in the long run.
Just some docs explaining why this is a useful approach will be helpful for adoption. Changing the dependency to views would be even more unnecessary.
I'm looking forward to being able to print of a PDF of my site guide for handover ;-)
Helps the thought processes, I think. So it's a good enough choice for now.

Sounds fine to me! I just didn't understand the dependency, but that makes a bit more sense.
Thanks!
