I would suggest using \bookOutputSuffix, but you can certainly use a 
little Scheme to concatenate the strings:

%%%%
\version "2.19.83"

title = "Title"

\book {
  \bookOutputName \title
  \bookOutputSuffix "Suffix"
  { b'1 }
}

\book {
  \bookOutputName #(string-join (list title "Joined") "-")
  { b'1 }
}
%%%%
