How do you highlight a book title?

The best way to highlight a book title depends on the context:

* In print: Use *italics*. This is the standard style guide recommendation (e.g., Chicago Manual of Style).

* In typed text (e.g., email, essay, document): Use *italics*. Again, this is the standard. If italics aren't available or easily implemented, you can use quotation marks, but italics are preferred.

* Handwritten: Underlining is acceptable in handwritten text as a substitute for italics.

Example:

Incorrect: "I just finished reading the book 'The Great Gatsby'."

Correct: "I just finished reading the book *The Great Gatsby*." (or, if handwritten, "I just finished reading the book The Great Gatsby.")
