Blogging about About Schmidt reminds me of the following passage from Nick Horby's Songbook:

My advice to young writers: never begin a title with a preposition, because you will find that it is impossible to utter or to write any sentence pertaining to your creation without sounding as if you have an especially pitiable stutter. "He wanted to talk to me about 'About a Boy.'" "What about 'About a Boy?'" "The thing about 'About a Boy'..." "Are you excited about 'About a Boy?'" And so on. I wonder if Steinbeck and his publishers ever got sick of it? "What do you think of 'Of Mice and Men?'" "I've just finished the first half of 'Of Mice and Men.'" "What's the publication date of 'Of Mice and Men?'" Still, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
