Revision as of 18:13, March 23, 2007
, 18:13, March 23, 2007Explanation of why "Nineteen Eighty-Four" is the correct title
== 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
