A list of Book objects is a very good start. You can add Books to it, or delete them, or update them by changing the values in their variables. For the changes you will probably need some kind of search method to get the right Book basd on its name or serial number etc.
If you wany to store that data between runs of your program then you will need some kind of external storage - eg an SQL database or a file.
You can store a whole list of objects in to a file and retrieve the whole list very easily, eith using the Serializable interface (for a binary file) or XMLEncode/XMLDecode (for a readable text XML file). You will find info on all that on the web.
