    Locally stored audiobooks are here: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books/ Audiobooks

    For pdfs/epubs in iCloud, I can't identify a specific path, but this is one
    way to open in Finder:
    1. Open any pdf in Apple Books (add any and open it if you don't have one in your library already).
    2. In the resulting Preview window, right click the file name and, under the file name, click "Books --- iCloud."

    This should open a Finder directory with all of your uploaded epubs/pdfs.

    I'm not sure if this will show books purchased through Apple Books, though.

    I found it at:
    /Users/My Name /Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books

    Apple Care transferred me 4 Times before #4 and he was gold.
