you say would "a " like this 「えい」.
So you woukd say
A book. えいbook.
This is A book.
Give me a book.
Is that a book ?
you can also say "a" like 「あ」 but this is not used as much in these cases.
I hope this helps.

Although this approximation is correct, you will sound weird if you always say it this way.
I think that this pronunciation is more popular:
