In 1623, about seven years after Shakespeare's death, two of his colleagues published a collection of Shakespeare's plays containing 36 scripts, about half of which had been previously published. The play Pericles, which had been published in 1609, was soon added. Scholars now also consider Shakespeare to have been one of the authors of The Two Noble Kinsmen, which was published as written by Shakespeare and Fletcher. (Fletcher almost certainly co- wrote other plays with Shakespeare.) Then there are two titles of plays of which no copies have come down to us: Cardenio and Love's Labour's Won. So that makes forty plays altogether. There may have been more we don't know about.

What is the total number of books that have been written about Shakespeare's plays?

If you mean, how many novels did William Shakespeare write, the answer is none. Shakespeare didn't write novels. If you mean how many novels are about William Shakespeare, well, quite a few, including the juvenile novel The Shakespeare Stealer by Gary Blackwood, and two sequels by him. A number of novels have centred on Judith Shakespeare, William's daughter, such as William Black's Judith Shakespeare, or My Father Had a Daughter by Grace Tiffany. A novel based on Shakespeare's life is The Players by Stephanie Cowell. There is really no way to count all these.
