Stupid question-but I just can't decide...LOL a colon after the title, does it count as part of the title? EX:Damn Lucky: One Man's Courage During the Bloodiest Military Campaign in Aviation History

A colon after the title with a subtitle is not counted as a character

Thanks for clearing that up for me😂, I just could not get past it

Will this work for book 2? Both the original author (Anne Frank) and the adaptor (Ari Folman) have names of exactly nine characters.

Anne Frank's Diary: The Graphic Adaptation
