No idea why your italics are falling off, but a character style might help. Here's a basic screenshot of a character style that just applies italic to the selected text; despite what the dialogue shows, I've only applied it to the title Sheet 252 Mechanical Specifications.
Note, though, that I've chosen to call it !cite. The name you choose isn't important, but what I would suggest is that you give the style a name showing it's intended for book titles. That way, you'll be able to search for titles quickly.
