  WordPress.com is not set up for shopping carts. We can use only the plain Paypal donate or buy-now buttons.

  I believe if you have different pages/posts for each of your books, you might be able to add a PayPal button to each of them. But, again, your customers will have to purchase one book at a time, since there’s no support for shopping carts.

  Yes, of course one could even stack up 9 plain PayPal buttons. But what good is that if a customer wants to purchase several books? Depending on the arrangement with PayPal, that could also cost more for the OP because of charges per transaction.
