There
are many aspects to book references, but for now we'll confine ourselves
to the three most common types of book:
- Books
written by one (or more) authors
- Books
consisting of separate chapters written by different people with
an editor
- Books
without a specified author
Referencing
books written by one (or more) authors
[Author's
last name], [Author's first name] [Date published]: [Book Title].
[Publisher's city]: [Publisher].
Example
Chapham,
Christopher 1976: Liberia and Sierra Leone. Cambridge: Cambridge
University Press.
If
two or more authors have collaborated on writing the whole book
without an editor, you just list their names as they appear on the
book right after each other
Example
Lynn,
Leonard and McKeown, Timothy 1988: Organizing Business Trade Associations
in America and Japan. Washington, D.C.: American Enterprise Institute
for Public Policy Research.
Referencing
books with an editor
[Author's
last name], [Author's first name] "[Title of chapter or article]".
In [Editor's last name], [Editor's first name] (ed) [Date published]:
[Book Title]. [Publisher's city]: [Publisher].

Some
books have no author's or editor's names. They are referenced as
follows:
[Book

one]. [Edition if applicable], [Publisher's City]: [Publisher].
