DATE PROBLEM!

Hey all,

Can anyone tell me what's the problem in this insert statement?

 Insert into book values ('0-044-45630-1', 'Empire boys : Adventures in a man's world', 'Joseph Bristol', 'Fiction', '07/99', '29.99', '35.99', '60', 'McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc');

I got some error message saying
ERROR:
ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated

I suspect i didn't put the date correctly, any suggestions? I just need the month and year....July 1999!

Thanks
