Q&A for How to Capitalize a Book Title

Yes.

If it's the first word of the title, yes. Otherwise, it doesn't have to be capitalized unless it's deemed to be as important as the title's other words.

Capitalize both words.

Names of specific places are capitalized.

Some conventions do approve the capitalization of four-letter prepositions.

Proper names are normally capitalized.

Capitalize "with," not "in."

Yes.

The rules of capitalization are not universally agreed upon. Some say you do not need to capitalize "short" pronouns like "its." In a real sense, it could come down to aesthetics: how does the title look to you? Write it both ways -- capitalized and uncapitalized -- and see how you feel about it. That won't satisfy purists, but it might work for you.

Typically, no. Only large words are capitalized. Unless it is the very first word, then yes. Words such as "an," "the," "for" and "so" are not capitalized.

Most style guides recommend against capitalizing articles (when not the first word).

You should refer to your style manual and do what it recommends. I assume that you have a style manual such as MLA, APA, Chicago Manual, etc. If not, you should certainly obtain one that is appropriate for your discipline.

Yes. Capitalize all verbs.

Yes, because "conjunction" is a noun.

It's to lend importance to them.

Yes, as explained in Part 1 Step 2 above.

Yes, you can do that, or you could use bolder (darker, thicker) letters.

There doesn't seem to be an "official" reason for that. Some say that capitalizing it lends appropriate importance to the word (even though we don't capitalize "me" or any other pronoun).

In all cases, capitalize proper names (names of specific persons, places or things).

Some do, but many do not. In German, for example, you only capitalize the first word, as well as any nouns in the title.

Only the first word of the title should be capitalized. Use normal Greek grammar rules for the rest of the title. ... When correcting the capitalization of a title that is in all uppercase, be sure to use the correct form (e.g. "ΣΤΑ" becomes "στα", and "ΒΑΣΙΛΗΣ" becomes "Βασίλης").

Adjectives are not capitalized in a sentence, but they are usually capitalized in a book title.
