Lee (of Shalott) | 184 comments Hi guys
I'm just wondering if there is a preferred practice for titles with ellipses at the beginning of the title. I have seen many entered into the database without the leading ellipsis & most with it when it appears. Normally I'd like to put the title in as it appears but with an ellipsis (or quotation marks) it does not appear alphabetically in the author's title list.
See for reference: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28...
Thanks for your advice.
