Even looking at that front cover I'd say it's two words. If the intent was to be one word, it would all be in the same caps, not one big and the other small... Then, you have the actual titles, copyright and title block as "Phone Booth". So, even if you really think it should be Phonebooth (if we're being honest, shouldn't it be PHONEbooth, how do we know only the P should be capitalized?), we have 3 other sources on the disc itself stating otherwise. This isn't some third party source (*cough* IMDb *cough*)...

In short, graphically it looks like two words. There is no other source that shows it was one word.

No matter how many colours or fonts they use on the cover - if no space is evident, then it should be Phonebooth 

Please take your compounds, typographs and "distinctions" somewhere else - what we see is what we use! 


Hmm... If you don't take into any account typographic effects, how would you enter these titles?

And why not "PHONEbooth 15 15" ?
That's what I read on the front cover...

When trying to add this title (Colin Farrell movie) I came up with two spellings. Phone booth and Phonebooth. On the cover it says PHONEbooth (with capitalazion of phone) as I read it the title would be in one word, not two? What is correct here? In profiler there are two profiles spelled Phonebooth and 28 as Phone booth. So what would be right?

And here's me thinking that this was gonna be a nice simple one... Can you say "Can of worms"? or should that be "CANofWORMS"?

EDIT - Incidentally... the Cambridge (British) English dictionary does not contain the word 'Phonebooth' but does contain 'Phone Booth'... not that this makes any odds as the rules state to list the title as it appears on the cover.

Different letter sizes or not... it appears as a single word i.e. no space.

Just out of interest... how does it show the titles of the examples you gave, on the spine?

Irrelevant. The rules say to take the title from the front cover.

I know it's irrelevant per the rules... that is why I said "just out of interest"

My herrings are not red. They show that you need to take into account typografic effects when you read anything that is printed.

OK, we know that's irrelevant, but out of curiosity on the spine it's

... MOVIE

and

SciFi
Classics

while the other two titles are printed on the spine just like on the front cover.
