5.6 – 60 years ago.
In July 1953, Elvis Presley recorded his first songs at Sun Studios, one of which was “I Love You Because.” I Love You Because.
“Because” is a subordinating conjunction - read a book with “because” or another subordinating conjunction in the title/subtitle. To help you out, see post 2 for the list of words.

If the word in question only appears in the list as part of a phrase, the entire phrase must appear in the title - for instance, one of the subordinating conjunctions is "as long as" - the word "as" appears separately on the list, so a title with "as" in it works. However, the word "long" only appears as part of the phrase, so The Long Goodbye would not work, but Holding Still for as Long as Possible would work.

Unfortunately, the site linked to for the list appears to have "moved" - and, apparently left no forwarding address! Fortunately, I copied the list, so here it is!

I don't see any word in the title that is a subordinating conjunction.

sorry, no. The word itself must appear as a word in the title.

Yep. The word doesn't have to be used as a conjunction, just has to be in the title.
