I wonder whether using Tufte Book class is a good idea. It does not
compile here with TeXLive 2023 due to a bug which is known for quite
some time, but there is no visible maintenance (last revision of the
class 2015).  By contrast, revisions of the standard book class and
memoir.cls in TeXLive 2023 are end of 2022 and scrbook.cls is 2023.
