How to create audio books in iTunes

Find the imported files and select them all by clicking on the first file, holding down the shift key and clicking on the last file. With all the files highlighted, go to the iTunes File menu and select "Get Info" (or just right-click and select "Get Info" from the context menu).

Thanks a lot. I've been looking for help on how to sync my audiobooks to show up as audiobooks instead of playing as my music. This was easy and didn't need to download anything.

This is great, but is there away to have the chapters grouped into the book, so I can have many books, and not see the chapters on the main audiobooks page? like with albums, click THEN you see the tracks.. this way i dont have to scroll so much to get to the next books chapters, some books have lots of chapters! help

Thanks for your help! I was able to move the files and to create an audio book. However it was not saved as one book but rather 7 books. How do I merge the 7 disks in to one book/file?

Your instructions were EXACTLY what I was looking for. Took me a while to find them and several unsuccessful attempts in iTunes from other instructions before I came upon yours, but thank you for the help :)
