Drace (dracenines) | 7438 comments Just a quick question regarding punctuation in a book title.

Let's say that a book's title is meant to have punctuation in it, and the punctuation is present on both the cover of the book and in the book description, but not in the listed title itself on the publisher or bookseller website. Should the punctuation be corrected on the Goodreads page to match the cover/description, or would the issue be left alone until the title is corrected?

Thanks for the info. Since it's just one book that has the title issue, is it alright if I post the request to correct it in this thread?

Drace (dracenines) | 7438 comments Link here: Chain Gang All Stars

The edition's title should be Chain-Gang All-Stars, with hyphens.
