How can this be achieved?
Many different ways.
One possibility is to define an informal protocol that your chapter
and book controllers agree upon, such that when the chapter has
finished, it calls the book controller with something like -
chapterDidFinish: at which point the book controller can set up the
next chapter. If chapters are owned by books it it the responsibility
of the book to release the chapter - it should not typically release
itself.
How does the chapter know which book it belongs to? Easy - it keeps a
reference (non-retained) to it which the book sets whenever it
initialises a chapter.
Essentially what you have here is a straightforward tree structure,
with book at the root, chapter as the next level of nodes and pages as
the next level. Any tree-management approach will work here.
