You can download a 30 day free trial of Acrobat Professional.

If the book is one document or if it's in multiple documents it doesn't matter, from Windows Explorer or Finder you can select the Word File(s) and choose Convert to Acrobat or Combine In Acrobat, from the File menu or from the contextual menu (right click or cmd click).

If it's multiple documents you can arrange them in a folder in their correct order. Selecting from the bottom to the top and choose File>Combine in Adobe Acrobat 9, you will get a dialog box in Acrobat, check the order is correct before proceeding.
