I forgot to mention another possibility.  If you just want
to list your book in the website TOC, you can add a
tocentry for it.  The tocentry element can take an 'href'
attribute instead of a 'page' attribute, and the href can
be a relative reference that points to your book.
There is an example in the example site:

    <tocentry id="nwalsh.com" href="http://nwalsh.com/";>
      <title>nwalsh.com</title>
    </tocentry>
