Search string

I need to create a search string to search through 3 files in my directory called book1, book2, and book3. The search would need to look for the words "title" or "Title" in the above files. I know very little about unix but I know that you have to use some form of wildcards in the pattern and file search. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
