What is the correct format for book titles?

Post by Cedar »

My copy of the AP Stylebook indicates that book titles should be set in quotation marks and not italicized. But I got an article sent back to me recently, and the editor had changed my quotation marks around a book title to italics.

I'd just like to know if this is a standard CC house style preference? I've had other articles accepted, and they had book titles set in quotation marks. I am a little confused, but I'd like to know which is the right way to do it, here at CC. Thank you.

The above-listed forum post might be helpful. I always italicize book titles on Constant Content.
