a) I'd never heard of book-weight font before, but https://gist.github.com/lukaszgrolik/5849599 https://gist.github.com/lukaszgrolik/5849599 lists it as either 300 or 350, and the weight of this font is indeed 300

This is because of the slight blotting effect when printed on paper. But for screen use, it is actually slightly bolder (450-ish). Here is an example from Lineto foundry: https://lineto.com/typefaces/moderne https://lineto.com/typefaces/moderne Book weight is between Regular and Medium.
