How do you move books from music to books?

I hate searching through my music and having to go through chapters of Books. Why can't I just drag the books to the BOOKS folder?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

If you have an audio file and you want it to be treated as a book instead of music, find the track in your library, right-click, Get Info. Go to the Options tab, and change "Media Kind" to "Audiobook."

Fardarter,

There is no radio box. On the Options tab, you pull down the "Media Kind" menu and select "Audiobook."

See picture below:
