In my quick perusal, this is more true of 'popular' works, whereas
'academic' work are more likely to use titlecase. The title on the
(optional) inner flyleaf and title page is more likely to be titlecase.
For the US Library of Congress catalog entry, the convention seems to
be capitalize first word and proper names, like 'C' and 'Python', list a
sentence, but no '.'.
Overall, the only rule is no rule.
