kinetic frictional force opposes the relative motion between the surfaces in contact of the book and the table.

Explanation:

When a book slides on across the table and comes to stop then there must be force acting on it which hinder its state of uniform motion. According to the Newton's first law of motion every body continues to be in the state of rest or in uniform motion until acted upon by any external force. Here while the book slides on the table there acts a force of friction between the table surface and the surface of the book which is in contact to the top of the table while the relative motion between the surfaces there acts a kinetic frictional force which opposes the relative motion between the two.
