Here's why:
* "You" is the object, not the subject. The sentence should be "Please give me a book."
* The subject is missing. The sentence needs a subject to perform the action of giving the book.
To understand the subject, we need a complete and grammatically correct sentence. For example:
* "Could you please give me a book?" - The subject is "you".
* "Please give me a book." - The subject is "you" (implied).
Let me know if you have a different sentence in mind, and I can help you identify the subject!
