Abstract

The title of a book is the first entrance to a work which should be selected based on certain scientific criteria, artistic taste, and aesthetics. The printed title of a book is typed and recorded in five places: spine, front cover, half title page, CIP data, and colophon.  Since the responsibility of recording the name of the book in each of these places is with different people such as the author, the publisher, the typist, and the front cover designer, some inconsistencies have been observed in title of the book typed in these places. It is the same with the authors’ names. Therefore, in the following paper, the author is trying to show the inconsistencies in the book titles using some examples of the books in which the titles lack some words, have some more words, are changed, or are different in orthography. Following this, he is going to provide some instances of the books in which there are some inconsistencies in the authors’ names.
