How do I get lisp to show inch marks as part of a string?

[Phych]

if I type a name (for this common paper size)
(read "11x17")
lisp returns....
11x17
Since I have a printer named 11"x17", I need lisp to return the inch marks
as part of the actual string. So, if I type
(read "11"x17"")
Audolisp cannot define it. What additional characters do I place next to the
inch
marks to enable 11"x17" to be read as a string?

Thanks in advance.
