You can use the preprocess_block function

function phptemplate_preprocess_block(&$vars) {
  if (isset($vars['block'])) {
      print_r($vars);
    }
  }

And dig into those results.

About the content, is this is a module generated block, I hope that $content is renderer using a theme() function, so you just need to alter it.

The $vars argument will have all the information about the blocks being themed. In your case you want the module to be "book".

function phptemplate_preprocess_block(&$vars) {    
    if (isset($vars['block'])) {
      if($vars['block']->module == 'book') {
        $vars['block']->content = "My new content";
      }
    }
  }
