MAIN PARTS FOR CITATION OF BOOKS:
•Author• Title
• Facts of publication
A book By a Single Author or Agency
• Author’s last name comes before the given name or initial to facilitate alphabetizing
• Use the name exactly as it appears on the title page of the source’s name.
• If the book is the work of an agency instead of an individual, the name of the agency takes the place of the author’s name.
• The title and the subtitle of the book are underlined.
A book By a Single Author or Agency
• The place of publication, the publisher, and the date of publication are in that order.
• A colon separates the place of publication from the name of the publishing company and a comma separates the publisher’s name from the date.
• If the place of publication might be unfamiliar or unclear to your readers, add an abbreviation identifying the appropriate state or country.
A book By a Single Author or Agency
• Shorten the publisher’s name as long as the shortened form is easily identifiable.
• When you cannot locate one or more pieces of information concerning the facts of publication, use these abbreviations in the appropriate positions:
– No place: n.p.– No publisher: n.p.– No date:n.d.
