Spell out all ordinal numbers through “hundredth.”
Spell out and hyphenate common fractions in text: three-quarters.

In book reviews, page numbers for quotations go at end of sentence, outside quote marks, and before period: “Blah blah” (p. 10). With extracts, page numbers follow period: Blah blah. (p. 10)
Italics: “Blah blah blah [emphasis added] or [emphasis in original].”
