How do I cite a book in APA format?

Answer

Here are two reputable sources with relevant information and examples for citing books:

  • The APA Style page Book/Ebook References provides guidance and various examples to help you cite books. 
  • The Purdue OWL page Reference List: Books provides guidance and examples, including the basic format for books as well as various iterations such as an edited book, edition other than the first, multivolume works, and a chapter in an edited book.

You may also need to consult other information in order to correctly cite a book. For example, if the book has three authors, you may want to consult the Purdue OWL page Reference List: Author/authors.

For more APA citation help, see the library's Citation Help: APA page or Ask a Librarian.
