Gilgamesh, Thought to have been written sometime around the 7th century BC.
It was written of clay tablets, not on paper.

This source page pretty much shows all the documents of different religions and includes gilgamesh. If you are looking for a true book, I would say I-ching is probably the first true book. If you are talking tablets or chronological documents grouped together, it could be either the pyramid texts or the I-ching. You have to decide on your own though.

Depends on your definition of "book"
The earliest novel is the Tale of Genji by Murasaki. There are religious and legal documents that predate this.
