6.1.3 Title

Give the title in italics with spelling and capitalisation as it appears on the title page of the book (unless the original is in all capitals, in which case capitalise only the first letter of significant words). Remove any full stops indicating abbreviation in accordance with rule 1.1.2.

Eg Matthew Smith NZ Judicial Review Handbook (2nd ed, Thomson Reuters, Wellington, 2016).

A subtitle may be preceded by a colon if it is not preceded by any punctuation mark on the title page. If the title contains a colon, a subtitle may be preceded by an en dash (–). The keyboard shortcut for an en dash on Windows computers is “Ctrl + -” (where “-” is the minus symbol) and on Apple computers “Option + -” (where “-” is the hyphen symbol).
