I tried dragging a book from my Books collection in my iTunes Library to my iPad and it worked.
Are you working with epub formatted books? This is the only format that you can use with iBooks with the exception of books purchased from Apple (as far as I am aware). I tried an improperly formatted file and was able to import it into my iTunes library, even drag and drop it into my iPad, but it would not SHOW UP on my iPad.
Here are the steps I use to import non iTunes books.
epub files have already been downloaded
in iTunes I select FILE > ADD TO LIBRARY (pop up window opens and I go to where my epub files are and select the files) > click OK
The books are now copied to the iTunes library and should be visible by selecting Books in your library list.
Your connected iPad should be listed under Devices. If you click on your iPad it should show the SUMMARY page with your iPad info. There are buttons for SUMMARY, INFO, APPS, etc, and a button for BOOKS across the top of the main iTunes window. Click on BOOKS and you can then manually manage which books to sync to your iPad. You must check the box next to SYNC BOOKS and then decide if you want to sync all or just a selection of your books.
If you choose to select your books, just go through all the books and click the small check boxes of the titles you want to sync. In the bottom right corner of the screen is a button that says SYNC. After you make any changes or selections it will change to APPLY. Just click on this after you're done choosing your books.
I hope that helps.
