I'm obviously in favor of having more books at Wikibooks, but then again it does make some sense to keep the documentation close to the website it documents. If the book is GFDL, couldn't we just copy/fork it to Wikibooks too?
Agreed - the Wikipedia version will likely have to be significantly adapted/integrated so it makes sense to keep a reasonably verbatim version at Wikibooks. That is to say that I wouldn't promote the idea of posting a book, intact, to Wikipedia (even as an exception), but anything which improves the help material is worth encouraging.
