If I move the book to a chair, it is no longer true that the book is on the table, but it is still a fact that the book is a book and the table is a table. Facts are unchanging, truths are relative and subjective.
The problem you are having with this your usage of the word fact. A fact is a property, a description of knowledge, "what is the case". The book nor the table are facts--they are objects. Declaring a statement as fact is the same as declaring it to be true. So your conclusion "facts are unchanging, truths are relative and subjective" is a contradiction.
