     public void ListBooksIterator()
        {
            Iterator<String> it = book.iterator();
            while(it.hasNext()) 
            {
                System.out.println(it.next());
            }
        }

    We can't really do much with this code. Instead, post an SSCCE that demonstrates the problem. Where is the book variable declared and initialized?

    "cannot find symbol- variable book"
    The error message means the compiler can not see the declaration of the symbol, which the compiler believes to be a variable name based on it's use. Where did you declare book and why is this method not within scope?
    Without the rest of the class code not much more advice to offer.
