No. The subject a large quantity of books is used in the singular and all verbs should be conjugated accordingly, e.g. A large quantity of books was destroyed in the fire; A large quantity of books was donated to the orphange.
The plural noun "books" is the object of the preposition "of" which modifies the word "one" which is a predicate nominative.
Books is already the plural of book.
The plural of book is books. As in "these are good books".
I believe that in the sentence It is an introduction to The Lord of the Rings, a series of books about hobbits, the word "introduction" would be the predicate adjective.
Books is correct.
One set of books, two sets of books. Set is singular.
Index books is the plural form.
Books.
these books.

It depends entirely on what the predicate is. If it is singular, it takes "there was" and if it is plural, it takes "there were". Ex. There was a book on the shelf. There were books on the shelf.
