1. It isn't essential that I keep the iPhoto Books, but would be nice. Anyway to archive and still zap iPhoto library?
2. This confused me:

Then you can consolidate the originals, that are referenced inside the iPhoto Library, or better, relocate them directly to a folder outside the iPhoto Library on your second internal drive, since the Masters folder inside the iPhoto Library is larger than the free space on your SSD; assuming you want to have your Aperture library reference the originals/masters on your second internal volume.
My current set up is Aperture library references photos inside iPhoto library.
Are you suggesting better to:
1. Leave Aperture managing portion of photos as it currently does, on SSD, and simply move Masters folder from iPhoto library using Finder to a different location, and then reconnect them as referenced?
Is that better than what I suggested above?
1. Use Consolidate Masters to move currently referenced iPhoto library images into a managed Aperture library.
2. Then use Relocate Masters to effectively keep my Aperture library file on my SSD, but keep the master images referenced on my internal 2nd hard drive
???
Thanks for patience, sorry if I'm not understanding your suggestion! Thanks!
