I wanted to do the same. I've first unlocked that green paper and then copied it out.
Edited the color from green to brown in Photoshop, and saved it under another name.
Dragged that into the templates, and arranged it at the background. Locked it again.
Then I changed type color to dark brown as well. Now I have a brown template book.
I also had that Apple pic on top of everything. I simply removed it, reveiling what's behind.

I suspected this would work. I just haven't had time to try it yet as part of creating new templates.
I have been very successful in creating new types of chapters and pages on the fly using the placeholder function. I merely DUPLICATE to work with a new page or chapter. You can drag and drop pages between book too.
My first quick and dirty iBook was an "Using iBooks Author" Manual pulling Apple's IA help files together so I could view them on the iPad.
When I get around to it I will update that file. If others would like to work with what I started and help update it I will give them share to .iba on BOX or DropBox for that purpose. My upload limit is 100MB per file on BOX.
Here is the folder link to my finished first draft of file built on Apple's instructions in iBooks format.

All that information is pretty much just all Apple moved to iBook format as I tested a few features of iBooks Author. I created that iBook as a tool for helping my friends deal with the new IA program.
