How do you pronounce "آنجا" in Farsi?
Say "ahn-JAH," with both vowels long and open like "father," and stress on the second syllable.
ānjā
Stress falls on the final syllable, -jā, mirroring اینجا ("here"); the initial آ (alef with a hat, madde) always signals a long ā at the start of a word.

"کتاب آنجاست" (Ketāb ānjāst) means "The book is there." آنجاست is a contraction of آنجا + است ("is") — Persian commonly fuses the verb است onto a preceding vowel-final word like this, so you won't see a separate word for "is" here.
Where English speakers slip
Learners often miss that -ast at the end of ānjāst is actually the verb "is" glued on, and go looking for a separate است word that never appears. Also don't flatten the initial آ into a short vowel — it's specifically a long "ah" sound, distinct from a plain ا.
