Hello,

My bibtex file has approximately 15 books but only 10 of them are
shown in the pdf file. Please what could I do in order to have all of
them shown?
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{bibs/references}

Maybe you are citing only 10 items in your document. To make all items appear, use \nocite{*} in the body of your document.

A similar answer has already been given in your cross posting. As a matter of fairness, please mention next time that you are doing so.

Best regards

Thank you for answering, but I do cite more then 10 books.

Something that I think can happen is if there is a mistake in the
argument to \bibliography{}, bibtex will stop processing at that
point. Say for instance I have the line:

\bibliography{../abc,../def,../ghi,../jkl}

Everything is fine with ../abc.bib, but ../def.bib is missing
or perhaps seriously flawed. bibtex will enter the ones it
has found, and stop, so those from ../ghi.bib and ../jkl.bib
do not appear in the output either.

I don't know if that's the case in your document, but it's
something to look at. Also, BibTeX files seem to me to be
notorously sensitive to booboos (rightfully so, I'm sure),
so if you forget a comma or have a duplicate key or something,
things just don't work right.

Hope that provides some sort of clue.
