It depends on a book. If it is a public domain book then you can publish such worksheets here, if it is a copyrighted book, especially an ESL book, then you cannot do that.

You can use texts from other websites or
books in your worksheets if you add your own exercises or activities (For example, reading
comprehension questions, etc). Please don �t take texts from other ESL
websites or books, it would be unfair. -
If your worksheet is just a reading text,
it will only be accepted if the text is written by you. -
It is acceptable to take a text from other
sources (not ESL websites or ESL books) and add your own exercises or
activities, but you are not allowed to take an exercise from another
source and add more exercises of your own. All the exercises must be yours. - http://www.eslprintables.com/rulesofthewebsite.htm
