We have a Mac and an iPad, so in iTunes the Books section has two divisions -- one for books that can be read on the iPad, and one for Audiobooks. A couple of the audiobooks that I was trying to build with Audiobook Builder created a third division in the Books section that was labeled Songs. These books appeared in this new Songs division rather than with the other Audiobooks in that division. The original files that the books were built from still appeared in the Music section of the Library (as I expected they would). I solved my problem -- for all but one book -- by going to the Music section, selecting the files for the book that I wanted to build, selecting "get info", going to the Options area and changing the type to Audiobook. This moved all the files to the Books section of the Library and placed them in the Audiobooks division area. I then clicked on this book, went to Audiobook Builder and clicked the iTunes button which loaded all the individual files. I finished building the books normally. On the two of the three books that were giving me problems, the new Audiobook Builder file was located with the multiple mp3 files and I just deleted the mp3 files. On the other audiobooks that I have built, the new Audiobook Builder file created a second copy of the book in the Audiobooks division, so I just deleted the original book with the multiple mp3 files.
Out of the 20 audiobooks that I have built, only three books have given me problems and this procedure worked for two of the three. The third book appears in the Songs division no matter what I do. I have tried changing the type in the Options area to podcast, saving, and then changing it back to audiobooks, but that didn't work. When I changed it podcast, the book was removed from audiobooks and the songs division went away. When I went to the podcast division and changed it back to audiobook, it was back in the audiobooks section and it recreated the songs division.

File comment: This shows how the audiobook, "One for the Money", appears in the Songs division.
