whose book is that or whose is that book

Hi, here's my question.
Some say "whose is this book is awkard,compared with "whose book is this".

Then how about the following sentense...
Whose book is that on the desk? and
Whose is that book on the desk?

Please let me know how do these two sound respectively.
