So my application.js file is including jquery accordingly, and everything I've put directly into it.

However, one of my controllers - lets call it Books - has its own books.js file

I want the books.js file only to be present when viewing pages within the books controller.

It doesn't seem to be including it at all though - any ideas?

First you should look at http://railscasts.com/episodes/279-understanding-the-asset-pipeline

Second in app/assets/javascripts/application.js

does it contain something like 

//= require_directory .

or 

//= require_tree .

ps - the rails guide on the asset pipeline is an excellent read
Wouldn't that defeat the concept of it loading all js files in app/assets/javascripts on its own?
@tybro not sure what you mean?

"everything I've put directly into it." ...does that mean you put your own code into application.js? If so, you might want to read a tutorial on the asset pipeline.

But anyways, sounds like //= require_tree . is missing.
