 * In the free version of WBG plugin, it is not possible to assign a category to
   a book. I can create a categories, but it not visible in the Book liste. So the
   short code argument “category” in the call says “no book found”.

 * You have to manage Category and Books Category separately.
   Both are different
   and have different purpose. You should focus only on Books Category if you do
   not wish to include your books in the global post section.
