Cite author and title for monographs

for a university paper I have to write an essay. The professor has percise instructions how to cite. For monograph books, he wants the author and the title in the footnotes.

I tried to use biblatex for this, but could not manage to get it to work

My minimal reproducible example is:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\title{test}

\usepackage[style=authoryear,maxcitenames=2,maxbibnames=99, uniquename=false]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{references.bib}
\setcounter{biburlnumpenalty}{100}
\setcounter{biburlucpenalty}{100}
\setcounter{biburllcpenalty}{100}
\DefineBibliographyStrings{ngerman}{ 
   andothers = {{et\,al\adddot}},             
} 
\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{family-given}
\DeclareFieldFormat
  [article,inbook,incollection,inproceedings,patent,thesis,unpublished]
  {title}{#1\isdot}
\renewbibmacro{in:}{%
  \ifentrytype{article}{}{\printtext{\bibstring{in}\intitlepunct}}}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\section{Introduction}
This is a minimal reproducible example. \footcite{adams1995hitchhiker}

\printbibliography
\end{document}

which outputs: footnote image

Now i want to add the title of the book too (in this case The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) in the footnote

Any idea how to implement this?

Solution

It sounds as if the authortitle style would be closer to your requirements:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\title{test}

\usepackage[style=authortitle,maxcitenames=2,maxbibnames=99, uniquename=false]{biblatex}


\begin{filecontents*}[overwrite]{\jobname.bib}
@book{knuth,
  author       = {Knuth, Donald E.},
  title        = {The {\TeX} book},
  date         = 1984,
  maintitle    = {Computers \& Typesetting},
  volume       = {A},
  publisher    = {Addison-Wesley},
  location     = {Reading, Mass.},
  langid       = {english},
  langidopts   = {variant=american},
  sortyear     = {1984-1},
  sorttitle    = {Computers & Typesetting A},
  indexsorttitle= {The TeXbook},
  indextitle   = {\protect\TeX book, The},
  shorttitle   = {\TeX book}
}
\end{filecontents*}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\setcounter{biburlnumpenalty}{100}
\setcounter{biburlucpenalty}{100}
\setcounter{biburllcpenalty}{100}
\DefineBibliographyStrings{ngerman}{ 
   andothers = {{et\,al\adddot}},             
} 
\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{family-given}
\DeclareFieldFormat
  [article,inbook,incollection,inproceedings,patent,thesis,unpublished]
  {title}{#1\isdot}
\renewbibmacro{in:}{%
  \ifentrytype{article}{}{\printtext{\bibstring{in}\intitlepunct}}}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\section{Introduction}
This is a minimal reproducible example. \footcite{knuth}

\printbibliography
\end{document}
