The correct statement is:
The force of gravity pulling down the book and the force of the table pushing up on the book are equal.
In this case, the book is in a state of equilibrium, which means the forces acting on it are balanced. The gravitational force pulling it down is exactly balanced by the normal force exerted by the table pushing it up.
