3. In the Titles of Books In titles of books we capitalise the first word, the last word and all other important words in the title. We don’t tend to capitalise the ‘little’ words in a title (words like and, if, but, or etc) unless they are the first or last word. Try these: the merry adventures of robin hood. three men in a boat the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. T T T M M A R H B L W W

9. Capitalise All Titles Before Names Capitalise titles when they come before names. We don’t normally do this if the title comes after a name . . . . Principal Lewis spoke to Dean Thyer. Mr Lewis, who is the principal at Swan Christian College, was speaking to Mr Thyer, who is one of the college’s deans.
