I would not consider book as a proper noun in this situation.Miracle Kingss wrote: ↑20 Apr 2024, 06:04 “...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?

When starting a sentence with a conjunction such as and, but, etc. Is this considered a grammatical error or the style of the author? Should it be listed under an (uncounted error?)
