Answer: Hi gh - Titles can't be copyrighted so it's ok to use a title
that's already been used. That said, if you're talking about book titles, I
think it'sworth a search on Amazon and Barnes & Nobel to determine if a title
you want to use has been used before. If you find a current book by the same
title, you probably want to come up with something different. You don't want to
confuse people; you don't want to take advantage of someone else's marketing. If
it's an old but well known book, like, for instance, Alice in Wonderland,
you probably want to either use something entirely different or adapt it in some
clever way.
