A nonfiction book is a book that is factual and tells of true events, as opposed to a fiction book which is a story imagined by the author.

There are multiple ways to tell if a book is fiction or not. The book itself may say if it is a true story or an account of a real person or event. If needed, you can research the people or events mentioned in the book to see if they are real. Other good clues common in nonfiction books include actual quotes, a table of contents, and factual charts or maps.
