Transfer purchased audio book from iPhone 3GS to iTunes on OSX
Solution 1
I just found out how to do it. Just right click on purchased and select transfer purchased items to itunes. No idea why it doesn't do it automatically like apps, but it is done now.
Solution 2
I was looking for this exact thing, and it seems they have changed iTunes a little since this was posted. Fortunately it put me on the right track. In iTunes 10 what you have to do is plug in your iPhone and when it shows up in the left pane in iTunes, highlight it, then right click and select "Transfer Purchases". At that point you don't have to sync or anything to get them to move, they just start transferring! It's annoying that Apple doesn't make information like this readily available. Thanks for sharing your discoveries! ~Adam

I purchased an audio book on my iPhone 3GS and synched with iTunes on OSX but the audio book didn't transfer to my iTunes. I tried to drag and drop and copy and paste, but iTunes won't let me move the audio book. This is my first purchase through iTunes on my iPhone, but have previously purchased many apps on my iPhone and they always synch to my iTunes.
Any ideas?

mindless.panda about 14 yearsDo you have the iPhone set to manual sync of songs/videos? What about the tab that would cover syncing of audiobooks - is it set to sync all or selected books?
