书 means book
本书 is not really a word, it's often used within a book to describe the book itself. you can generally interpret it as "within this book"

书means book,本 is an article. so,一本书means a book.

no , they misunderstood what you said ! “本书” means: this book ! "书" means all of books .
eg: 本书作者 (The author of this book )

书 and 书本 are basically the same。
I have never seen 本书 without a quantity before. you can say: 一本书 one book, 几本书 several books
