No, it's not standard. Emphasis is done with italics, as in every
civilized country. In fact, the typesetter of the book in question
should be calfatered, forced to listen a few days to Modern Talking,
or some similar punishment.

But then, in the 30s and before, such crimes were quite common.

Cheers,
