Digital Booklets for albums no longer handled within iTunes - so annoying!

I second your emotion!

I have not been an iBook user (and I don't even own an iPhone or iPad), but I am a huge iTunes user (on an iMac). Here are my observations and complaints.

1. I think this is some sort of mistake or oversight - it makes no sense whatsoever to remove an iTunes music digital booklet from it's source - to force us to open another app to view the liner notes for an album. I predict (and certainly hope) they will reintegrate this in the future.
2. When I opened iBooks, it only imported one (one!) of numerous digital booklets from my iTunes library. The rest it left stranded in iTunes.
3. When I tried to import the rest - all named "digital booklet.pdf" and nested within the iTunes library file structure - it tried to overwrite the one that was already there.
4. The books themselves are buried deep within the system library file system - quite inaccessible.
5. That's not a problem, necessarily, but not being able to edit metadata (title, author, etc.) also makes no sense whatsoever. Shouldn't it work like iTunes, where I can edit artist, song and album title, etc.?

Anyway, this strikes me as an inadvertent snafu - a bad side effect of the iBooks improvements. Again, I hope Apple is paying attention and will improve both the fuctionality of iBooks (particularly as relates to metadata editability) and its integration with iTunes (reuiniting our music with its accompanying documentation).

Yes, what a pain. I guess I was lucky since I stored all my booklets with the music (change "media type" to "music") and I can still read them from iTunes. However, I can no longer create new ones.

Apple, please bring back this feature or find a workaround.

You can still do it on a PC. I use both Mac and PC. So annoying that it's not available on the Mac. This should be a simple fix. Someone help.

I also updated to mavericks a few days ago, and i found a solution

copy your digital booklet

go to finder - music - itunes - itunes media - Select artist - album

and paste it in there, restart iTunes and then click edit on the booklet, add metadata and click ok.

Hope i help!

I just made it work on my Macbook Pro running Marvericks. I added the digital book into itunes using File: Add to Library.. Then I searched for the digital book in itunes using Search Library. Once I found it, I added it to a playlist and in the playlist I was able to right click it to access Get Info. Add the artist name, album etc... and done.

My attempt at helping.

YES, it seems to be working again as before.

Thanks

How do i know if there is a booklet??

I have bought a lot of albums in iTunes store but never found a booklet.

I really mis booklets, that is why i still buy albums on cd because i miss the booklets.

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I am pretty annoyed with this iTunes/iBook digital booklet fiasco.

The method sugested above don't work for me. If I copy a db into the album folder then import it into itunes, it is immediately removed from the folder by iTunes, and put into the Music/Books/Artist/Album folder!

I cannot find a way to edit the metadata in digital booklets so this doesn't happen.

Also, the system doesn't seem to be consistent. Some of the dbs are showing in iTunes, but presumably that's becasue they are tagged as music.

Can't see a way around this as the minute I copy+add in the ones from iBooks, itunes just removes them back to Books!

Any more ideas on this VERY annoying aspect of iTunes?
