In url pattern you need to link views with url path. But you are using form class here, change urls.py to this:

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.bookview, name='bookform'),
]

Also to use auto generated fields you need to use ModelForm as form's base class:

class BookForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Book
        fields = ['title', 'sub_title', 'author', 'image', 'price', 'description', 'ISBN', 'number_of_pages','dimensions', 'interior_pages','binding','availability','genre']

UPD

You have myform variable in view's context, so you need to use it in template instead of form:

{{myform.as_p}}
