Yes, in my opinion your book would look better if you used typographer's quotes [smart quotes/curly quotes].
Think about this: When you pick up a hardback from Knopf or Simon & Schuster, do you want the quotes to look like they came from a typewriter and using Courier? (That's the font that most typewriters had.)
Nowadays, one finds straight quotes [what you used] along with Courier font when a book is specifically trying to have a formatted piece in an older style (for an effect) in order to give that section or that excerpt a specific 'feel' for an older time.
