Why do two books lying separately on a table not move towards each other due to gravitional attraction?

Let's say that each book has a mass of 5 kilograms (it weighs about 11 pounds),
and the centers of the two books are 0.1 meter (about 4 inches) apart.
The gravitational force of attraction between them is
(6.67 x 10-11) x (5) x (5)/ 0.1 = 0.000000016675 newton = about 0.00000006 ounce .
That's why.
Gravity is actually quite a weak force. Even two concrete-mixer trucks parked next
to each other feel only a minute gravitational force toward each other, and it takes
the whole Earth to attract one of those books with a force of a few pounds.
