4 -- Lowercase Letters On The Spine

4. Lowercase Letters On The Spine

If you take a quick look at the closest bookshelf, you’ll notice that most book titles are written using upper case letters (also known as capital letters) on the spine. However, for this prompt, we’re looking for books with lowercase letters on the spine.

Lowercase letters are the “small letters” in the alphabet.

The only requirement for this prompt is that lowercase letters appear on the spine. This may be the main title, author’s name, or any other words that appear on the spine. It can be in any style or type of font as long as it’s lowercase. The entire title may be in lowercase letters (For example: The Winemaker's Wife) or it may be a mix of upper and lowercase (For example: Such a Pretty Girl).

As with all our prompts, this can be completed using any format of reading and/or read in any language. As long as one edition of the book has lowercase letters on the spine, you can use it toward this prompt.
