Thank youThe sentence #2 is also OK. I found a good example of the usage in Boston University's Community Newspaper, Vol III, No 1.

He says that the non-nonsense teaching style for which he is famous is the only way to cure his students of the "laborious, heavy, and overly verbose" writing that often plagues them.

Note that it is standard to put the title of a book in italics if that font is available. If you are writing by hand, underline the title. (If you are typing with a system that offers no font variation, using quotes is the best alternative.)
