"Five Books of Moses"

Five Books of Moses is acceptable when you type something up. As a general rule, anything that is underlined can be italicized instead.

Here we would put them in quotation marks 'Five Books of Moses' because that distinguishes it as different- and you did ask for english help after all didn't u!?

Kevin's right, it's underlined, however, if you mention the AUTHOR, you've GOT to have the author's name underlined as well. NOT ITALICIZED. IF the title of the book was italicized, the author's name could be as well. It all has to font-in-etic-ally match. ;)

lol I'm pretty sure you don't do anything to the author's name..

You could either underline or italicize the book's name.

Personalllly, I prefer the italics.

You never underline or italicize an author's name except for emphasis.

And Rosie, UK and US English are vastly different in written form. I think we had that discussion on AIM awhile back. I still think putting the period outside of the quotation marks makes more sense!
