Shakespeare wrote the following books for publication: Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece. He did publish his sonnets in 1609 but he did not write them to be published as a book. They were just a collection of poems which he had written, some of which had been published before.

Although Shakespeare is famous for his sonnets, he is more famous for his plays. However, he had no intention of publishing them and did not intend that anyone (except the actors in his company) should read the scripts. They are meant to be watched, not read, and so it's difficult to call them "books he wrote".
