(Can't test myself atm)

Please try the following:

give @p minecraft:written_book 1 0 {title:"test",author:"santa",generation:0,pages:["[\"\",{\"text\":\"dirt\",\"color\":\"black\",\"bold\":\"true\",hoverEvent:{\"action\":\"show_item\",\"value\":\"minecraft:dirt 1 0\"}}]"]}

give @p minecraft:written_book 1 0 {title:"test",author:"santa",generation:0,pages:["{\"text\":\"dirt\",\"color\":\"black\",\"bold\":\"true\",hoverEvent:{\"action\":\"show_item\",\"value\":\"minecraft:dirt 1 0\"}}"]}

The show_item event takes raw NBT input for an item, not a broken-up /give command:

give @p minecraft:written_book 1 0 {title:"test",author:"santa",generation:0,pages:["[\"\",{\"text\":\"dirt\",\"color\":\"black\",\"bold\":\"true\",hoverEvent:{\"action\":\"show_item\",\"value\":\"{id:\\\"minecraft:dirt\\\",Count:1b}\"}}]"]}
