Wikipedia of Newton's 3rd Law:

Whenever a first body exerts a force F on a second body, the second body exerts a force −F on the first body. F and −F are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

The downward force of the book is F(weight) + F(applied by hand).
Book acting on table.

Now the table acting on book has the same magnitude of force but opposite direction (N3rd law). Force(normal).

Hope that helps.
