Well, I'm not sure what you mean by "doing a play" or "doing a book." But the first thing published of Shakespeare's was his long poem Venus and Adonis. He arranged to have it published himself, and it looked like a book. Of course when plays get published they look like books too. Shakespeare had already written plays before he wrote Venus and Adonis if that is what you are asking. He wrote at least part of the Henry VI trilogy as early as 1591 but it was not published until 1594, the year after Venus and Adonis was published.

Everything Shakespeare wrote was either a play or a poem. I'm not sure what you mean by "books" but if it means something other than plays and poems Shakespeare didn't write any.
