>>>>Recently I became aware of a new 10th anniversary edition of "Foxtales: Behind the Scenes at Fox Software" by Kerry Neitz. Kerry was part of the FoxBase and FoxPro development teams. I sent him an email recongratulating him for the book and we chatted back and forth. He wound up sending me a copy, gratis. There was no quid pro quo that I would tout the book in return. Unless he visits this site surreptitiously he is not even aware of this post. I am only recommending the book because I admire it and think other FoxPro developers will enjoy the fly on the wall account. The writing is very good. Not every software developer is a good writer. Kerry is.

>Answer:Each time you write the title of a book underline it, or you can italicize it. Quotes are used for smaller works; poetry, articles, short stories, but larger works; books, papers, magazines, get the underline or italics.

That is not accurate. The titles of books are not normally underlined.
