I agree, with one exception.
I've encountered several books which have been published under the same title and by the same author but with substantially different contents. Some have been "novelizations" of a previously published serial version. Others have been updates to an earlier version, done for various reasons. With these, I prefer to have something appended to the internal title, a form of sub-title, that announces the variant (e.g. pub. date, "revised", "2nd Edition", ...).
