However, if your users have already created a bunch of pages in their Organic Groups, this module is not able to automatically recognize those pages, you'll have to see if you can follow the instructions in the README.txt.  For the 4th filter, this module requires an additional table in the database, which it calls 'og_book'.

29    users to only be able to create books in the context of their own personal book.
