If the book is to go to the stacks and it isn't feasible for the
maps to accompany it there,you could send the maps to your map
collection, and place a note in the catalog record as to their
location.
Check the title(s) on the maps. Sometimes they have a different
title than does the book, and so could be cataloged as a separate
entity (or entities). Again, cataloging notes can alert the user
as to the relationship between the items.
An elaborate solution would be to fold the maps to a reasonable
size and enclose them and the book in pam pocket (your binder or
mend dept. would have to do this work, I expect.) That way you
could keep everything together.
 
Just my two cents worth.
