Answer:
There are two forces acting upon the book. One force - the Earth's gravitational pull - exerts a downward force. The other force - the push of the table on the book (sometimes referred to as a normal force) - pushes upward on the book.
Explanation:
If you have a book on a table the book is exerted a force on the table (weight due to gravity), and the table reacts with an equal and opposite force. But the force acting on the table is due to gravity (is this the same as a gravitational force?), and the forcing acting from the table to the book is a reaction force. So one is a gravitational, and the other is not. Therefore this is not Newton's Third Law as the forces must be of the same type.
