Comment:

 My 2 cents, using WP_Query as dd32 suggested:

 1. Done a fresh install of WordPress 3.2.1 (on Windows Server 2008 & IIS7)
 in '''www.mydomain.com/web'''. Using TwentyEleven Theme.

 2. Set up Permalinks like this: ''Month and Name''.

 3. Created Taxonomy "Genre" in '''functions.php''' as stated here:
 http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_taxonomy. Created
 Custom Post Type "Books" like this:
 http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type

 4. Updated Permalinks, for Flushing Rewrite.

 5. Inserted Genre: ''Fiction''. Inserted Books: ''The Lord of The Rings''
 and ''The Hobbit''. Of course, assigned genre ''Fiction'' to both.

 6. Made a copy of the '''page.php''' file (in the TwentyEleven theme
 folder) and renamed as '''taxonomy-genre.php'''. Programmed the loop very
 similar to the example showed on this page:
 http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_reset_postdata.
 '''NOTE''': See the attached file.

 7. Browsed to: '''www.mydomain.com/web/genre/fiction/'''. Everything went
 fine.

 8. Clicked on "Previous Links" link:
 '''www.mydomain.com/web/genre/fiction/page/2/''' --> '''ERROR 404'''.

 9. Using the code in attached file "No_WPQuery.txt" (default Loop) +
 [Admin Zone / Settings / Reading / Blog pages show at most --> 1], and
 everything will work fine.

 10. Workaround using WP_Query: http://themeforest.net/forums/thread

 THANKS.
