1/1 ReflectionException in
C:\xampp\htdocs\bookstore\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Container\Container.php
line 737:
Class App\Http\Controllers\BookController does not exist

Answer 1

Notice the error says Class App\Http\Controllers\BookController does not exist. That doesn't match your namespace set in the BookController class.
It's looking for your class in the "App\Http\Controllers" location with an "s". Your namespace says "App\Http\Controller" (without the "s"). Fix your namespace and it should work.

Answer 2

You are using a resourceful route and you don't need to specify the method.Also the / before the books is not needed.
Your route should be like this:
Route::resource('books', 'BookController');
