    Is there a converter to bring a book written in WordPerfect 5.1 (DOS,

You may try to open it on LibreOffice and save as odt, then import into LyX. LibreOffice uses the libwpd library that, it seems, offer support for such an old format:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/DLP/Libraries#Import_Libraries
https://libwpd.sourceforge.net/features.html
Or open in LibreOffice and export as LaTeX.

There is also this:

https://ctan.org/pkg/wp2latex

I used it to convert quite a lot some years ago.

None of these are flawless. It depends a lot on the complexity of the document.
