My reason for opposing is that I think, as a general principle, the heading of the main entry of the book should be in the form in which the book itself is published; that is, if it is published under an autonym let the autonym be given, if under a pseudonym, then let the pseudonym be given, and if the book be anonymous, then let the fact be stated.; {i} person's real given name; piece of literature published under the author's real name; (Grammar) word that describes itself (e.g.: polysyllabic is polysyllabic; noun is a noun; word is a word)
