Grammatical error or not?

“...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.

Hi, according to a credible source, "book two" should be capitalized. Here's the resource:

I would capitalize it to be on the safe side.

Hi
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?)

No not in this case. But as a stand alone outside a book most of the time I have noticed that it is Capitalised. In such a case it is more of a subtitle. But here lower case is just fine.

It should not be listed as a grammatical error if the conjunction is capitalized.
