Assalam-u-Alaikum

1. I think the "the," needs to be omitted.

2. When you write titles you need to capitalize the "big" words, and leave the "small" words as they are.  I don't know the exact english terminology.  So this what i think would be the correct title:

There are Two Things Wrong with the Title of this Book

It's either that or I'm more confused than Bro. Arsalan!

Wassalam-u-Alaikum

assalamoalykum,

the "the" is right. the second one is wrong. it has nothing to do with grammer for the second one.

Salaam,

Is the second "wrong" thing the fact that there is really only one "wrong" thing with the title?

i.e. 1st wrong thing: repetition of "the"
2nd wrong thing: "are two things" should read "is one thing".

Either that or I'm in the same place as Arsalan.
