2022 A-Z Book Title Challenge
What's everyone's opinion on book titles that start with The?Does that just count as 'T' in your opinion, or do you forget about the 'The' (lol)?
For example, if I want to read The Forgotten Island does it count as my F book, or could I only use that for T?

It's common practice in alphabetizing books to ignore the short words that start a title, words like 'the, an, a' to name a few.

Agreed! I actually worked as Journals Editor for a university library, and "the" is never used as the initial letter in the catalog.
Disregard: a, an, the, etc. Use the first "significant" word.
