Cracked it – in functions.php of my theme:

if ( ! function_exists( 'woocommerce_content' ) ) {
	function woocommerce_content() {
		if ( has_term( 'CATEGORY-NAME', 'product_cat' ) ) {
			while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
				wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-product-CATEGORY-NAME' );
			endwhile;
		}
		else {
			while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
				wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-product' );
			endwhile;
		}
	}
}

OK, talking to myself here, but I’ve added

if ( ! function_exists( 'woocommerce_content' ) ) {
	function woocommerce_content() {
		if ( is_singular( 'product' ) ) {
			while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
				wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-product-book' );
			endwhile;
		}
	}
}

to my themes functions.php file which works – but how do I target a product category?

I’ve dug around further, and single-product.php – both my override and the core woo commerce version are ignored – I’ve even deleted them completely. Instead the woocommerce functions.php file sets the template on line 339

wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-product' );

editing this gets it to look at my template file, though I obviously don’t want to edit that functions file – so how can I override that?
