Title
The correct title of the book is "Nineteen Eighty-Four," in words, not "1984" in numerals.
This is how it is presented in the New York Times' review of the book, "An Indignant and Prophetic Novel," Mark Schorer, June 12, 1949, p. BR1.
This is also how it appears in the Library of Congress' online catalog, for both the British Secker and Warburg edition
and the U. S. Harcourt, Brace edition:

Apparently links to these searches don't work... search on Orwell, George and look for items 86 and 87. Dpbsmith 14:16, 23 March 2007 (EDT)
