If it's not hidden and not showing in the Purchased tab in the iBooks app on your phone for redownloading then you are using the same account for the store on the phone as you used to buy it ? If you are then the version of the book that you bought is still available in your country's store, and you haven't moved countries since buying it ? And by 'tried hidden and unhidden i cloud blooks'  you mean that you've logged into the account on your computer's iTunes (iBooks app is using an up-to-date Mac) and checked to see if it's hidden from the cloud (Hide and unhide purchases in iTunes or iBooks on your Mac or PC - Apple Support), or that you've only toggled the 'Hide iCloud Books' button on/off in iBooks ?

 

If it's no longer in the store  or if you've moved countries then you won't be able to redownload it, you will to sync it via your computer's iTunes - if you only have it on your iPod then connect it to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (and if using a Mac with iBooks on it then do File > Move Books From iTunes in iBooks) and you can then sync it to your phone.

    Is the book still available in your country's store, and does the book's description page in the store say that it's compatible with iPhones (and/or the version of iOS and iBooks that you have on your phone) ?
