1-1. All (of) the book isn't true. (This can mean the whole book, or part of the book).
1-2. Not all (of) the book is true. (Natural. This means that part of the book is true and part isn't).

2-1. All (of) the people in this city don't have their own house. (This can mean the total number of people, or some, but not all ).
