Second OOPS ... delete the original file and all of those symbolic links are broken. Better make it hard links. Now you have to make sure users are clear on the difference between symbolic links and hard links. Mass confusion.
Third OOPS ... deleting a book now requires tracking down every copy of it. It's a little extra work if all of the file names are the same, and a lot of extra work if the filenames are different.
