ספר מורה נבוכים /להרב משה בן מימון ; … בהעתקת הרב ר’ שמואל אבן תיבון ; עם ארבעה פירושים … אפודי, שם טוב, ן’ קרשקש, אבברבנאל. (OCLC #29328452)

We found copy possibly matching this book, but without strong skills in Hebrew, and so much omitted (using …) from paragraphs on the title page, how to be sure?

Fortunately, the copy also included a link to an electronic copy online, including the title page, which was an exact match:

Construction industry productiviy [sic] : examining the effects of omitted varialbe [sic] bias in the census construction price index models / by Bryan David Dyer. (OCLC #664555550)

We cataloged this dissertation under AACR2, so indicated the misspellings in the title with [sic], as:

245 10 ǂa Construction industry productiviy [sic] : ǂb 
    examining the effects of omitted varialbe [sic] bias in 
    the census construction price index models / ǂc by Bryan 
    David Dyer.

with the corrected versions in a variant title:

246 3_ ǂa Construction industry productivity : ǂb examining
    the effects of omitted variable bias in the census construction
    price index models

RDA 2.3.1.4 on recording titles says to transcribe the title as it appears on the source of information. The rule’s exception for correcting obvious typographical errors only applies to serials and integrating resources, so for this title we’d still transcribe as it appears on the piece, without [sic]:

245 10 ǂa Construction industry productiviy : ǂb 
    examining the effects of omitted varialbe bias in 
    the census construction price index models / ǂc by Bryan 
    David Dyer.

Epistle to white Christians / Fred D. Wentzel. (OCLC #1039631)

When cataloging, we look for the title on its preferred source of information (RDA) or chief source (AACR2) which for books is the title page. A cover or spine title may not be the authoritative title in the first place, but may also lose letters when damaged. Though the spine title on this volume is technically different from the one on the title page, I chose not to add it in a 246 18.
