It's not clear to me what you are trying to achieve. You want to link the book to itself? Presumably to the beginning? If so, set a bookmark on the first word of the main text flow in the book and link to that.
If you want to link to the book in the iTunes Store, you can use Link Maker.

I want someone from one book to go back to another book. The recent newsleter said this is the protocol to use:
Bookstore Links
You can now link to the iBookstore from within your books using “itms-books://” instead of “http://” at the beginning of the iBookstore URL. This new functionality will not close the iBooks app or present any additional dialogs.
But that doesn't seem to work.
I reported this as a bug to Apple when I tried the exact same thing - will let you know if there is any response...
It says the user can hit the store from your book...not jump inside another book.
Bookstore link...
File a bug....or wait for iOS 6 😉
Heard back from Apple:
"Please know this feature is currently only available for books in .epub format."

Yes, I've been trying to explain that in another thread...thanks for the confimation 🙂

As far as I understood the question was about linking form iBook author to another book in the store. That does not work linkmaker too. It creates a simple html url.
It seems there is no solution yet for iBook author.
How do I link to itms-books:// witin iBook Author
