it would be much faster and simpler to copy the books to a usb and walk across the room, than to learn all you need to know about windows sharing...

having said that, if both devices are running windows 10, on the same LAN,. and both are connected to the same PRIVATE network ( must be private, not public) is just a case of ticking a few boxes...
start with My network on each device, if each can see the other PC under the computers tab, you are half way there.
if not there's some box ticking/unticking to do within sharing options
you also have to set the books folder's sharing options so that " everyone" has read access, in order to copy the books from the remote PC
