Can you export pages from one book to another?

I have a book of multiple pages, and I need 10 pages to change place to another book. The only way I found so far to do this is to export the whole book to pdf, and put 10 pdf pages to the other book. But the problem is, you cannot change anything anymore (as it is a pdf and not the different photos). Is there a way to drag whole pages  from one book to the other, so if you would drag them, the photo’s and the layout on the page go as well to the new book?

    I don’t know of a way to ‘export’ and ‘import’ selected edited pages of a book to include in another book as edited.

    You can easily drag photos from one Library view of a Book to another Book Collection, but you will still need to add the added photos to the layout with page templates you have.

    You can make a Duplicate of a Book Collection, open the copy, and delete pages leaving only the few that you want, but then that becomes a new book requiring you to add new pages and photos.

    Good idea to make a copy! But being able to drag whole pages (layout and photo) accross books would be a nice addition :).
