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.
