The sentence is: “Where do you want these?” Jon’s publisher asked, bobbling a box with the word books scrawled across the side. What do I do with the word, "books"? Do I quote it (as above)? Should I italicize it? Is there a rule here or is it predominantly an issue of style and/or author preference? What do you think?
