Hardly a php question, but what the heck. Do you want this:
Code:
$query="INSERT INTO `book` SET buyer='" . $x . "' WHERE id=" . $book;
This is my preferred way of writing SQL queries, but your way is not wrong. A great way of learning SQL is using phpMyAdmin. It echoes out all it's queries, so you can see what it does.

A WHERE cause has to be used with an UPDATE query instead of INSERT INTO.
Code:
UPDATE `book` SET buyer='xxx' WHERE id=123
