"Volume" or "Book"
I've seen it called "Volume 1" and "Book One" .. what's the convention, or is it a US/UK split? -- Green  C  18:22, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Ok my research shows publishers use these conventions:


 * Norway: Volume 1
 * Britain: Book 1
 * US: Book One

There are other differences, noted in the article, how titles and subtitles are ordered. -- Green  C  18:37, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't see why it can't be used interchangeably as long as it isn't ambiguous czar ♔  04:45, 19 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Just depends on context. If it's a British book award, we'd want to use the British book title. -- Green  C  00:02, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Book Title
Knausgård says that he did not protest this decision, but that “the German publisher made a huge mistake, because they had a chance to ‘overwrite’ Hitler and missed it.”

This quote is wrongly attributed to Knausgård, because in the article it is his friend Geir Angell Øygarden who says this: "Knausgaard also told me that when the German publisher said that the work would have to be published there under a different name, he of course understood and did not object. This, too, was a comment that served to distance himself from the title. Geir, meanwhile, believes that the German publisher made a huge mistake, because they had a chance to “overwrite” Hitler and missed it." Denkfabrikant (talk) 17:50, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
