In addition to Charles' and Steven's recommendation, there's another
method to consider, although whether it's better or not depend on your
situation. In my books, the header info changes from book to book and
I have to renumber to get the chapter and page number correct.
Instead of actually doing these changes in the content file depending
on whether you're working in Book A or B, you can create a "container"
file in Book B with all settings correct. Then import the content file
from Book A as a referenced file, specifying that the formatting be
controlled by Book B.
So you get the same end effect, but the method is different.

The mechanics in the last response are correct, but don't forget the
numbering. FrameMaker allows two types of numbering: document (what
you call a chapter) and book. This is necessary as some documents are
not in a book but stand alone.
So, when using documents in different books, you may have to redo the
numbering at the book level.
For example, I have a document that is Section 8 in one book and used
as Appendix A in another book. The numbering for each, in the
separate books, is different.
Cheers.
