That's a question that's impossible to answer. A "fine art" coffee-table picture book, for example, might contain only a few thousands words in total, but it's unquestionably a "book".
Had you asked "how many words must a book have to be considered a novel", you might have been able to get a meaningful answer. You could then, for example, look at the categories used by various literary awards for their definitions of "short story", novella", "novel", etc.
"Book" is a production format, not a measurement of length.
