I did double check to make sure I hadn't written it wrong and it does say "four or less". I agree, four or fewer sounds better.

Thanks! As you can see, I've incorporated most of your suggestions. Some decisions must be made in context, I think, so I don't want to make the list too comprehensive. But if anyone sees an obvious word I've left out, please say so.

Um...since this is grammar book speaking...shouldn't it be "prepositions of four or *fewer letters"? ;)

According to the grammar book we used this year:

"Capitalize the first word, the last word, and all important words of any title. Do not capitalize a, an, the, and, but, or, nor, or prepositions of four or less letters unless they are the first or last letters of a title. Capitalize all other words.

Capitalize any verb in a title." (They provide an example showing that "is" should be capitalized.
