Not really, no one can 'reserve' a title, and they can't, I believe, be
copywrited.  When I first started work on what is now the untitled
O'Reilly book, I called it 'The Zen of Zope'.  I have allways had in the
back of my mind a very high fiber, zen/philosophy oriented pocket book
about Zope called the Zen of Zope, but that may never come to fruition
(maybe I should quit DC and write books! ;)

Yes, I would hold off on the title.  Further, a publisher is going to
want to help you with this, they possibly have specific brands of books
that they may want to 'fit' your work into (like, "Learn Zope in 24
hours", "Zope for dummies") etc...
