In the 4th edition, both have been presented. A colleague of mine caught
this a few years ago. In the first printing of this edition, the title,
name, affiliation on the sample title page was near the top (close to the
running head). So, the first year she taught the class, everyone placed it
there. However, the next year, all of the students put it in the middle.
When she corrected the mistake on the paper, the students came to her and
showed her the book. Seems like the next printing had the paper title in
the middle. I did see her book and it was at the top - mine is in the
middle (I have the fourth printing).
