book titles and copyright

[Asura Levi]

The question is simple, are the titles, specifically, and only, the titles, under copyright when the book is published?

As fas as I know, I believe it is, but would like some better opinion.

No. Titles are generally not covered by copyright.

Hi,

Titles cannot be copyrighted generally, but they can be trademarked. E.g. Alien.

Cheers, Greg.
