Lonel, A lot of CMS systems provide you with the ability to do this. To give you an example, Vignette deals with 3 main types of content items, viz. 1. Template 2. Record 3. File
It treats all files (.doc's, .pdf's, .jpg's, .gif's etc.) as content items and provides you API's to manage the versions, editions etc. Hope this helps.

Nothing to do with content. This question may be out of place here, come to think of it. Thanks anyway.

If you mean managing the content of the book i.e.the individual pages or chapters then I don't think you'll find one that will do that and maintain the (PDF,.doc) format. If you mean managing the book as "content item" within the content management system then there are several. What is that you want to do?
