You can use anything you want for a title. Here are some things to think about:

  • Why would you want to use a title already used? Don't you want your readers to be able to find your book without getting it confused with the other one?
  • What YOU want the title to be and what the PUBLISHER wants are two different things - most of the time, the publisher is going to make up their own title.

It is not recommended to use the exact same title as another book to avoid confusion and potential legal issues around copyright infringement. However, you may use a similar title with different wording or add a subtitle to differentiate your book.

They can. Most of the time they do not have the same plot, but many books have other books that share their title.

What book titles are not taken?

Many are taken and many aren't. You just go ahead and make one up - it doesn't really matter if it has the same title as another book, to an extent. It would not be okay if you were just re-writing the book in your own words and using the same title, then publishing it. But if it has a different plot, then it's alright. I have seen many books under the same title before.
