Friction.
The force that opposes the motion of a book sliding on a table is kinetic friction. This force acts in the opposite direction to the book's motion and is caused by the interaction between the surfaces of the book and the table as they slide against each other.
The book slows down and stops due to the force of friction acting between the book and the table. As the book moves, friction opposes its motion, causing it to lose speed until it eventually comes to a stop.
Pushing a book across a table creates sliding friction between the book and the table surface, which acts in the opposite direction of the pushing force, making it harder to move the book.
A book sliding off a table is an example of an object experiencing an unbalanced force. The force of gravity pulling the book downward is greater than the frictional force between the book and the table, causing it to accelerate in the direction of the force.
The book's kinetic energy was converted into heat and sound energy as it slid across the table and came to a stop. Friction between the book and the table surface caused this conversion of energy.
Yes, Sliding friction opposes the movement of the book, slowing it down.

No. If the book is sliding along the table, then there must be some external force being applied to the book to cause the movement. You pushed the book and created a force to move. And this is exactly what the first law is saying- a body at rest (net forces acting on book=0) remains at rest unless acted upon my some external force.
The forces are unbalanced. The force of Friction is obviously greater than whatever force is pushing the book in the direction of travel, if one is pushing it at all. If the forces on the book were balanced, the book would continue to slide with a constant velocity.

As long as the book's velocity changes, there is a net forces acting on it - in other words, the forces are unbalanced. By the way ... How exactly does a book that is resting on a table slow down and come to a stop ?
Gravity - and friction. The larger book has more gravity - holding it own onto the desk. Friction stops the book sliding sideways.

When you place a book on a table, the table exerts an upward force on the book known as the normal force. This force is a reaction force to the downward force exerted by the book's weight due to gravity. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore, the table pushes on the book with a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force the book exerts on the table.
