A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, or thing.

If you are referring to a book called 'The State of Liberty' or 'The State of Liberty Book', the title of a book is a proper noun, the name of a specific thing.

If you are referring to the book that is held in the left hand of the Statue of Liberty, it is not an actual book. It is a tablet inscribed inscribed with the date of the signing of the Declaration of Independence written Roman numerals (July IV, MDCCLXXVI).

Note: The compound nouns 'Statue of Liberty' and 'Declaration of Independence' are both proper nouns, the names of specific things. The noun 'July' is a proper noun, the name of a specific month.
