You don't need to add anything as SQL Server will automatically increment and assign the Identity field. So, simply remove @OB_ID and SQL Server will know to add the next key in sequence, so...

SqlConnection sqlc = new SqlConnection();
sqlc.ConnectionString = "Data Source=. ; Database=LDatabase; Integrated Security=true;";

SqlCommand cmd2 = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO Order_Book VALUES(@OB_Title, @OB_Author,     @OB_TranslatedBy, @OB_Publisher)", sqlc);
        cmd2.Parameters.AddWithValue("@OB_Title", "%" + txtboxbook.Text + "%");
        cmd2.Parameters.AddWithValue("@OB_Author", "%" + txtboxAuthor.Text + "%");
        cmd2.Parameters.AddWithValue("@OB_TranslatedBy", "%" + txtboxTranslator.Text + "%");
        cmd2.Parameters.AddWithValue("@OB_Publisher", "%" + txtboxPublisher.Text + "%");
        sqlc.Open();
        cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery();
        sqlc.Close();
