Consider the code:

\documentclass[titlepage,10pt]{book}
\usepackage[showframe,margin=.3in,paperwidth=4in,paperheight=6in]{geometry}
\textheight=5.25in
\usepackage[frame,noinfo,center]{crop}
\usepackage{microtype,scalefnt}

\title{TITLE\\[-4pt] {\scalefont{0.45}{{\textit{OF THE}}}}\\[3pt] BOOK}
%\author{The Author}

\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\maketitle
\end{document}

which produces the page

QUESTION: How may I prevent \maketitle from displaying the date?

Thank you.

    Did you try \date{} ? This technically won't suppress it, just replace it with an empty one. Oct 26, 2022 at 20:21

You can replace the default date with an empty one:

\documentclass[titlepage,10pt]{book}
\usepackage[showframe,margin=.3in,paperwidth=4in,paperheight=6in]{geometry}
\textheight=5.25in
\usepackage[frame,noinfo,center]{crop}
\usepackage{microtype,scalefnt}

\title{TITLE\\[-4pt] {\scalefont{0.45}{{\textit{OF THE}}}}\\[3pt] BOOK}
%\author{The Author}
\date{}

\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\maketitle
\end{document}
