Hello,
Sorry but the link given above deals with a different grammatical point.
Here ...both sentences are correct.
1-He has a book, hasn't he? ...is rather
2-He has a book, doesn't he? ...is rather

Hello Everybody.
I think he has a book, hasn't he? is the right answer. Because 'to have' is an auxiliary verb. We use 'to do' in the tag when the verb is not an auxiliary i tkink. For example,'He lives in Africa, doesn't he? 'He is african, isn't he?

Hello.
Lucile is right. We Americans like our helping verbs, especially with present tense.
For other tenses, we use has instead of does.
For example: She has answered this question before, hasn't she?
Sherry

Hello!
Both are correct. As it's said before one is American English and the other is British English. But nowadays mostly doesn't or don't is used for the negative form of this verb. See you!

Hello
Normally, when to have is a lexical verb meaning to possess or to consume, it should use do, does, did.
Does he have a pet ? Yes, he does.
He has a cat, he doesn't have a dog.
He has a cat, doesn't he ?
He has coffee for breakfast, he doesn't have tea.
He always has a beer before dinner, doesn't he ?
You couldn't say:
He drinks tea, drinkn't he ?
He owns a car, ownn't he ?

To have a "yes, he has" answer, have must be an auxiliary verb with a past participle.
Has he got a cat ? Yes, he has.
Has he seen that film ? Yes, he has
.
He has got a cat, hasn't he ?
He has seen that film, hasn't he ?

But I heard in Scotland : Have you the time ? So, it could as well have been : You have the time, haven't you ?

Technically, your first example is wrong. But usage is a different matter.
