1. We have many good books.
2. We have many great books.
[Great means 'very good'. What difference do you have between 'good' and 'great'? When we think of the title of a book, "Good To Great," they have different meaning. Is that right?]
3. I have a good many books.
4. I have a great many books.
[They seem to be the same in meaning, don't they? Do you have any difference in meaning because of the words, 'good and great'?

The difference between "good" and "great" in 1 and 2 is only in the enthusiasm of the speaker or writer! A person who thinks something (a book, a movie, or ??) is REALLY good, he or she might say or use the adjective "great" but that's about it.
In 3 and 4, there's really no difference.
