Referencing a book is very simple. Usually the author's name is first, followed by the year, book title, location of publication, and then the name of the publisher. The title should always be underlined or in italics. More formally, however, there are two styles for citing references: APA (American Psychological Association) and MLA (Members of the Legislative Assembly).

You reference a book by placing in-text citations in the body of your paper, as well as by creating a bibliography page at the end of your paper. Include the names of the book, author, and publisher, as well as the date and city of publication. You can find more information here: http://www.studenthandouts.com/citations...
