That would be a very large book.

There is no possible way that every experiment ever done in physics could be contained in one book.

What type of book are you looking for exactly? Are you looking for more of a popular science account of how experimental physics has changed over time?
 
Cf. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/new-free-book-on-amperes-experimental-researches.840650/ here. A. K. T. Assis has written some free books on the history of electricity and magnetism. See all Assis's books here.
