The question goes as above. Even though I've consult the dictionary, I'm still not sure about the answer, and I think either is ok. So I would really appreicate it if anyone could help me with that. Thank you. Sorry for the trouble again.

Of the two I would use "contain".

I would use "contain" too. Although, I would prefer simply "Our English books have six units" or "Our English books consist of six units".

You really don't need to apologise for troubling us. That's what we're here for.;-)

Me too- if you use include, then it implies that the books contain 6 units and other stuff.
 
Thank you all.Words can't express how grateful I am.
