Maybe I'm not quite getting it, but how about:
SELECT COUNT(bibID) FROM bookDB WHERE publisherID='$your_publisher_id';

You can do a group by to get them all at once:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS book_count, publisherID FROM bookDB GROUP BY publisherID;
Then use your favorite mysql_fetch_*** and access them.
Hope that helps.
