You can also bookmark remote SMB hosts, shares or files within shares if
you need to work with SMB hosts. 

I find it useful to create virtual folders with stuff that I have spread
along a complex directory structure and which I do not want to move nor
create symlinks to each.

And if you do not want the book, you can use the xfce-mcs-manager to
make it disappear from all instances of xffm (except those invoked as
xfbook4, of course).
