You are going to have to escape quotes, so your string should
look like this:
        The Hitchhiker\'s Guide to the Galaxy

See this page:

Whenever I run into this situation, I use the Ostermiller
Excel CSV parser:
http://ostermiller.org/utils/ExcelCSV.html
with a custom class I wrote to escape strings using the
MySQL format.  I don't know if there is an off the shelf
tool to do what you want.  Maybe someone has one.
