Question

When typing the name of a book do i italicize or put quotations around the title?

Answer 1

Quotations are for songs/short stories/poems.

My teachers have always preferred underlining for book titles.

Answer 2

Either.  Some teachers prefer italics and some quotations.  I've found that mine prefer italics, usually.

Answer 3

According to AP style, you put quotes.

According to Chicago Manual of Style, you italicize.

I recommend italicizing. It's more common, and Chicago Style is the standard for publishing.

Answer 4

Italicize. Titles of poems, short stories, and songs are put in quotations. Titles of books, plays, works of art, and the names of ships, planes, and trains are italicized.

Answer 5

You can do either, but generally it's italicized.
