What I'm telling you that 'Book' is not an item, but a group and select2 does n not support the selection of groups (there was a debate around when someone asked for it as new feature but was dropped)...
So the only option is write some code for yourself to do so...

As it is group so why you need to select any specific result.It's just grouping an item.

While I applaud your urge to help people, it's a good idea to stick to new questions, rather than 8 year old ones. After that amount of time, it's unlikely that the original poster is at all interested in the problem any more!
Answering old questions can be seen as rep-point hunting, which is a form of site abuse - and a vague "solution" like yours does make that look more likely. The more trigger happy amongst us will start the process of banning you from the site if you aren't careful. Stick to new questions and you'll be fine.
