Ziegler,

Just thought I would let you know.  I added a method a while ago that
will hopefully help making map books using composer layouts a bit easier.
 I added a composer item id which you can assign in the UI and then
reference in the code.  The ID/Name is just a string so you can use any
convention for naming you composer items, any composer item can have a
id/name e.g you could name a map frame "overview" and then reference this
to put the overview window in that map frame; or name a text label "Title"
and then put the map title in there.

The method is called QgsComposerItem::id() and you can get to it using
Python or C++.

Would love to see EasyPrint use composer layouts to generate map books, I
know a lot of users would love it. Hopefully this will help you.
