Perhaps someone can clarify which way the title is correctly written. I can remember that the prepublication copy I read long months ago used lower case letters for the title on the cover. Lower case letters are used in the ALA/YALSA web info about the 2005 Printz Award & list of books unanimously voted as 2005 Best Books for Young Adults.
  As far as I can tell when I look at the Amazon.com image, upper case letters are used on the published jacket. Upper case is used in the BookBrowse interview with Author Meg Rosoff cited in my earlier message.
 
  As one who has persisted in returning idiosyncratically punctuated or capitalized titles & titles with invented spelling back to their originally imagined forms, I want to know what was intended by anyone with the authority to make that decision. The author, perhaps?
  Is it "How I Live Now" or "how i live now" ? If it's the latter, we can speculate about this, as well as musing about Leda Schubert's black hole question, or delving into the substantial questions concerning the text raised by Linda Loewe.
  I'm also curious about whether or not this work of speculative fiction
- reminiscent for Kathy Isaacs of the adult novel "On the Beach" - is a book young men are reading and/or finding worthy of the Printz Award.
  Peace, Ginny
