Try this

$custom_terms = get_terms('english');

foreach($custom_terms as $custom_term) {
    wp_reset_query();
    $args = array('post_type' => 'book',
        'tax_query' => array(
            array(
                'taxonomy' => 'english',  //The name of the taxonomy. Name should be in slug form (must not contain capital letters or spaces). 
                'field' => 'slug',
                'terms' => $custom_term->slug,
            ),
        ),
     );

     $loop = new WP_Query($args);
	 print_r($loop);die;
     if($loop->have_posts()) {
        echo '<h2>'.$custom_term->name.'</h2>';

        while($loop->have_posts()) : $loop->the_post();
            echo '<a href="'.get_permalink().'">'.get_the_title().'</a><br>';
        endwhile; 
     }
}

Note that The name of the taxonomy. Name should be in slug form (must not contain capital letters or spaces).

Category parameters work only for default WordPress posts. With custom post types you must use tax_query.

new WP_Query( array(
    'post_type' => 'book',
    'tax_query' => array(
        array (
            'taxonomy' => 'your_custom_taxonomy_slug_here',
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => 'english',
        )
    ),
) );

Try to use this code:

$book = array(
  'post_type'      => 'book',
  'paged'          => $paged,
  'category_name'  => 'english',
  'posts_per_page' => 12,
);
$query = new WP_Query( $book );

There is no parameter called 'category'. All category parameters:

  • cat (int) - use category id.
  • category_name (string) - use category slug.
  • category__and (array) - use category id.
  • category__in (array) - use category id.
  • category__not_in (array) - use category id.

So, if you use 'category name' query get the posts that have these categories, using category slug.
