The title on the book begins each word with a capital letter. Why does the CiP entry begin each title word, except the first word, with a lower case letter?
The capitalisation in the CiP entry follows the cataloguing rules used by libraries. In library cataloguing, only the initial letter of the title is capitalised. There are some exceptions to this practice but they are limited to certain cases specified in the cataloguing rules. Publishers should print the CiP cataloguing record in the form in which it was returned to them using the same capitalisation, punctuation and layout.
