The problem is that TeX doesn't know that mybook.cls exists in your
TeX tree. Merely copying to the folder where amsbook.cls resides will
not do anything. You have to update the TeX's file database. In my
Linux box, I simply need to issue a command "texhash" at the prompt to
update the file database.

Alternatively, you can copy mybook.cls to your working directory and
run LaTeX.
