Try this Linda I just googled rev. thomas hooker books and this came up. For more on the Joseph Hooker line, get in touch with the Hadley, MA historical society, they have a pretty good genealogy of this family.

Thomas family trees and each one is just for that specific persons relation to them, if that. Mainly just all repeats of Rev Thomas from England married to Sarah Garabrand. Over and Over. And the book by Edward Hooker that everyone says is so complete is basically just about Rev. Thomas' grandson John's descendants through his father Samuel. Nothing else about any of the other sons' families. I was sent a Joseph Hooker one that was more complete than anything I had seen but it doesn't fit us at all. I'm sure we are from Rev. Thomas but am just trying to fine tune the exact connection. What I find interesting is that my husband is descended directly from Rev. John Lathrop/Lowthrop who founded Barnstable, MA and was very famous just like Rev. Thomas Hooker. That family has a complete book that is done through my husband's grandfather's generation and has every branch in it from every son on down. Seems someone could do that for the Rev.Thomas Hooker line. They are in the process of updating it. People seem to only want to list their own little branch. In my Hooker tree I am listing everyone as much as I can find. I've even started doing the Beardsley family tree for my new second cousin as his mother was a Beardsley. I'm going to be working with the Hooker family DNA testing website and I'd really like to encourage all of you, especially the Southerners who say they are having a real hard time figuring it all out, to have the test done. You get a discount if you do it through the Hooker Project. It finalized it all for me and my brothers and we know positively that we are Hookers by blood now. Why not have a brother, father, uncle, male cousin who has the last name of Hooker take the test. Get a group from your family of the guys and have them done or you different families do it and find out if you are connected. In fact, over half of the men who have done the test so far are from the Southern families. You may never find out and by doing this, the odds are you will find something out.
