Titlecase means every word, even 'a' and 'the' are capitalized. There is no option there to do that.

There is Titlecase, Sentence Case and Propercase.

Title means title, so that it doesn't look like a sentence, where only some words are capitalized, or propercase where some specific words are not capitalized. Why a good number of people think it is acceptable to use non capitalized words in a title, and still call it a title, defies logic.

My apologies for my little rant, but it really does get my goat.
The occasional rant is fine; I've done it myself (don't get me started on DRM). But you might want to check your facts first next time.

The reason why so many people think it's acceptable to use non-capitalized words in a title is because it is acceptable.

Look up the definition of titlecase. Titles are supposed to have certain words in lowercase. The rules for which words should be lowercase are not universal, but the fact that some words should be lowercase is.

If you want to have all words in your titles uppercase in your personal library, that's perfectly fine. But if you want Calibre to do it automatically for you, just be aware that you're asking for something non-standard.
