On every version of FM since time immemorial, when you hold down the
shift key, the File menu's Close and Save commands change. If a book
window has focus, they become Close All Files in Book and Save All Files
in Book. If a document window has focus, they become Close All Open
Files and Save All Open Files. 

So you can save all the files in the book with one command and close
them all with a second command. 

HTH!
