Is there a difference whether I say "the book is on the table" or "the book is over the table"?

Hi, Is there a difference whether I say "the book is on the table" or "the book is over the table"? the book is on the table It's resting on the top surface of the table. the book is over the table It's above the table, in the air, perhaps because it is a magic book that can fly.
