Try this :

UIButton *titleButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];    
[titleButton setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 170, 35)];
[titleButton setTitle:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@",delegatee.selectedBook,delegatee.selectedChapter]forState:UIControlStateNormal];

titleButton.titleLabel.font =[UIFont fontWithName:@"Georgia" size:10.0f];
[titleButton addTarget:self action:@selector(ClickbtnChaperselection:)forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
self.navigationItem.titleView = titleButton;

Why don't you just put a label instead of a button as the title ?

Here's code for a title label:

UILabel *titleView = (UILabel *)self.navigationItem.titleView;
if (!titleView)
  {
    titleView = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
    [titleView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
    [titleView setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Georgia" size:10.0f]];

    [self.navigationItem setTitleView:titleView];
    [titleView release];
  }
titleView.text = title;

If you need it to be UIButton, it shouldn't be too hard to adjust the code to your needs.

Good luck !

 UIFont *font=[UIFont fontWithName:@"A_Nefel_Sereke" size:21];
