Q: iTunes does not show all iBooks
I have hundreds of books in my iBooks library, but when I use iTunes to sync books to a device only 65 are showing. My library is a mixture of books purchased from the iBooks Store and imported files. It is possible that only purchased items are being shown, but I can't be certain.
All software components are the latest versions.

Ferd,
Thanks for the response, but I think you have misunderstood my problem. I am not looking to use iTunes to manage books as before. It is still necessary to use iTunes to sync books to my devices, and it is on that screen where all my books are not being shown.
Roger,
You should be able to use iCloud to accomplish your objective. I no longer sync books with iTunes. Since you stated that "All software components are the latest versions," I presumed you were using iCloud. Have you tried using iCloud?
Sync iBooks between your Mac and your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support describes how to use iCloud for syncing books:
"If you buy a book on your Mac or your iOS device, it’s automatically available through iTunes in the Cloud on all of your iOS devices and all of your Mac computers. You can also sync your bookmarks, notes, and collections across your devices.
If you have iOS 7, your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will automatically ask you to sync.
The information below only covers how to download and sync books purchased from the iBooks Store. Learn how to sync PDFs and non-iBooks Store books."
