Book purchases from Apple are associated with your Apple ID. Those can be re-downloaded from the Apple Books book store, as available.


Books you have acquired elsewhere are either stored locally, or are stored in iCloud when that is enabled. If stored in iCloud, the books are associated with your Apple ID. If stored locally (and now gone), you'll need to reload those books from the source, or from a backup of your MacBook Air.


Your Apple ID has quite probably also been compromised, as have all your passwords and tokens:
