The implication of this book title, Cat Spelled Backwards Doesn't Spell God, is that D-O-G spelled backwards is God.  Yet contrary to common belief, that's wrong.  "No, I don’t think that Dog is God spelled backwards" says Roberta Lee, DD., PhD., ND.  Plus, keep in mind that "a word spelled backwards is not a name, and furthermore, if it's a wonderful word spelled backwards, does that [not] imply that the name is the opposite of the wonderful word?  Don't do this" (Duana Taha, The Name Therapist, 2016).

Here's A Book Without a Title by George Jean Nathan, 1918.  Its epigraph offers some explanation and/or confession: "'Titles of books: Decoys to catch purchasers.' —Chatfield."  Previously, we stumbled upon this other book that was printed without a title.

A statue holds a book with no title, the book never having been written about an event that left no discernible trace.  From My Father's Bonus March by Adam Langer, 2009.

You've heard that animals and insects possess neither morality nor religion, yet here's The Butterfly's Gospel (Fredrika Bremer, 1865).

Here's one from the next edition of our dictionary of all-vowel words: Oo, a place name "never pronounced without awe and reverence," named after "a great god who dwelt under the sands of the desert"; "a wonderful place full of gold and jewels where demons dwelt," located several hundred miles down the southerly-flowing Darke River.  It is also known as "the city of unnumbered lights" and is capital of the Orbello kingdom.  Every portion of the city is subterranean except for its fortification and tower.  (The Mysterious City of Oo by Charles Lotin Hildreth, 1889.)
