When I did work on moving content from our old wiki into Drupal Book I
basically had to redo all of the formatting (since the WikiSyntax was
not HTML, which Drupal Book wanted). We'll probably have the same
issue here.

Solutions:
1) Don't bother formatting the wiki (at least not too much bother).
This way formatting is only done once (finalized into Drupal Book)

2) Find a module which will convert WikiSyntax (whichever syntax our
wiki has) into Drupal Book (HTML 4.0 strict, IIRC)

3) Format in WikiSyntax for the wiki and have someone re-format it in
Drupal Book when needed.

Option #2 would probably be best since our developers would like their
thoughts to look nice and organized (I'd think ;)) while they work on
them.
