A launch is a type of motor boat e.g. a pilot launch.To launch, is to hurl forward, set in motion or make a start. Traditionally when a ship was launched, it would be sent speeding down a ramp into the water. Nowadays they're more usually floated out, a safer and more sedate process, which is still referred to as launching the vessel.
In the case of a book launch, the word means to introduce a new product. My latest book was launched just two weeks ago.
Have you launched anything lately, or perhaps you're planning on launching in the near future?

Just launched my book of short stories, but maybe I need to re-launch it.
Congrats! I've got a few books I want to launch - just need to get my act together!
Congratulations on the new book, Patsy! I hope 2017 will be the year I launch one of my own.
Good luck with the book, Oscar.
Get them out there, Nick. No one can buy them from your hard drive.
I hope so too, Liz.
