Charisma,
if you're not in a hurry for the book to get into the collection, you can 
submit it with a Hold for Cindy; I'll get the print book and proof it, putting 
back the italics (recently I've had to do the reverse, i.e., change italicized 
(and bold words)  back to unitalics and unbold. I have a few things to do 
first, that's why I say if you're not in a hurry.
Cindy
