Ok, but since books/a is a collection, you should get a collection listing:
<exist:collection name="/db/test/a"
created="2009-01-24T13:29:17.92+01:00" owner="admin" group="dba"
permissions="rwur-ur-u">
<exist:resource name="books.xml"
created="2009-01-24T13:29:17.965+01:00"
last-modified="2009-01-24T13:29:17.965+01:00" owner="admin" group="dba"
permissions="rwur-ur-u"/>
</exist:collection>

You forgot to actually load the document using doc():
let $a := 'http://localhost:8080/exist/rest/db/test/a/books.xml'
return
<books>{
for $book in doc($a)//book
return
$book
}</books>
