Can any publisher take the content, print and sell?
Yes. Of course it is necessary to acknowledge the original source and
distribute the part of the content under the same license.
Modifications should be under same CC-by-SA license.
Applies to all versions of the license.
Other parts of the book can be under a different license.
If they do so, will they give royalty to author?
It is up to the publisher.
Can they change the license of the printed book to - all rights reserved -
some thing else?
No. That would be violation of CC-SA and the matter can be taken to court.
