Anne, Just for the record, title of books and other separately published literary works are customarily set in italics not underlined. Italics are also standard for magazines, newspapers, movies, ballets, operas, musicals, and works of art. My guess is that the use of underline in place of italics is a holdover from typewriter technology.
