Grammatical error or not?

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

Grammatical error or not?

Post by Miracle Kingss »

“...hinted at the possibility of some more exquisite reading in book two." Should book be capitalized? Does book become a proper noun because it is used to represent the second book in a series?

I would not consider book as a proper noun in this situation.
