Should you merge? That's really just down to the judgement of you and anyone else who wishes to contribute to the discussion on the talk pages.
How... You incorporate the content "by hand" - adding text from the source page where it seems appropriate. If a whole page should be moved into the destination book then you can use the Move function to do this. Once you've finished merging the text, add {{now merged|destination page}} to the page you took the original information from. An admin will then perform a history merge.

I have a few pages [1] where it has been proposed other pages be merged
into my book or a chapter in it. What are the steps for figuring out
whether that should be done? And if it should be done, what are the
steps for carrying it out?
Regards,
/Lars

Sorry for crossposting but it's something that will (hopfeully, IMHO)
affect hundreds of wikis and it's interesting to know how to get to it.

Hello devs,
I am Aashish Mittal and am currently working on a project for creating a
'Book' extension for Wikisource/WikiBooks. There is a bug filed for this
feature (check bug 15071<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15071>)
by the wikimedia community developers.
This extension would enable the users to group selected pages into logical
'books' and use these books as per their needs. We are currently working on
defining the scope of this project, but an initial thought to this project
defines the following deliverables for this extension:
1. Create a book
2. Page addition wizard (also containing search filters for finding
particular pages)
3. Import book metadata (where user can directly add set of pages from
his export list)
4. Export book metadata (export the book details containing all page
links to a file which can be saved by user, similar to MetaBooks)
5. Add to a book option for every page
6. Table of contents for a book
7. Read a book (navigate through pages or some kind of an ajax based
book reader)
8. Recent changes for each book
9. Create chapters
10. Arrange order of pages in a book
11. Protect/watchlist/move/delete all pages of a book
12. List books
13. Search for a book
14. Search in a book
15. Automatic Bookshelves, where the books of a wiki could be organized
according to their metadata (examples:
English<https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/en:Wikibooks:Departments>,
Portuguese <https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/pt:Wikilivros:Biblioteca>, ...)
This feature is an extension of
Collection<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Collection>and
BookManager <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BookManager> and
intends to add additional functionalities described above to them. It would
be great if I could get some suggestions from the Wikibooks community
developers about their requirements, the features they would like to see
and any implementation ideas. I have created a
topic<https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks:Reading_room/Proposals#Book_feature…>in
the Reading room for the same. Kindly add your valuable suggestions
for
this project.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Aashish

Greetings,
The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to upgrade MediaWiki, the
software powering Wikipedia and its sister sites, to its latest
version.
The upgrade will happen in several stages over the month, starting this week.
You can still help to test it before it is enabled, to avoid
disruption and breakage.
More information:
