    Here's a few.

    The Book of Jasher is mentioned in Joshua 10:13 & 2Sam.1:18

    The Book of the Covenant is mentioned in Exodus 20:22 and elsewhere, eg 2Kings 23

    The Book of the Wars of the Lord is mentioned in Numbers 21:14

    There are numerous references in (especially) Kings to the "book of the annals of" successive kings.

    Daniel 10 contains a reference to The Book of Truth, but I'm not sure if that refers to an actual book.
