Books are underlined and plays are in quotes. :)

Books are italicized or underlined





Plays are surrounded by quotation marks
Reply:Full-length plays, novels, and other books should be italicized. If you are hand-writing the title, underlining will do. The titles of newspaper articles, essays, and short stories should all be in quotes.
Reply:According to the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition, since you are typing them out, both book titles and play titles are in italic, no quotation marks.





If you are writing this with long hand, you can underline both book titles and play titles, since you can't really write in italic.
Reply:For a full length work (book, novel, three or five act play) italicize. If your typewriter lacks italics underline.





For a short work (one act play, short story, essay) enclose the title in quotation marks.
