This is a bit difficult due to the way files are read into LyX. Why
don't you just take your book.layout at work too (with a different
name, preferably)? All you have to do is to copy it to ~/.lyx/layouts/
and run Options->Reconfigure.
What I do not like in your proposal is that two classes with the same
name are *not* supposed to have different layouts. Choose a new name
when you do modifications.
