When the book is on the table the force of gravity tries to pull it down to the center of the earth. But according to Newton's third law of motion the every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Thus the table applies the same force on the book as well. This is called a self-adjusting force as the table tries to remain in its original state i.e. its lowest potential state.
