Books, Plays, etc.

Quotation marks can be used to highlight the names of books, plays, films, articles, ships, aircraft, houses and hotels.

Examples:

Jeremy stayed at "The Dorchester" for 3 weeks last summer.

"Southern Stars" was Jones's account of the trek; I have read others that
contradict his version of events.

(In this example, it is useful to group the book title within quotation marks,
because "Stars" is a plural word and "was" is singular.)

I was certain the "Spruce Goose" was too heavy to fly.
