Begin with the name of the author, starting with the last name, for books with one author. After that, list the full title of the book, followed by the city and name of the publisher, and the year the book was published. For example:
Heifetz, Milton D. The Right to Die. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1975.
Book titles should be underlined or italicized, whereas book chapters or articles are in quotation marks.
List the first author with last name first, and all subsequent authors in traditional first and last name order, for books with multiple authors. For example:
Wigram, Tony and Jos De Backer. Clinical Applications of Music Therapy in Psychiatry. Philadelphia: Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 1999.
Begin with the name of the editor of the anthology, followed by the notation "ed." if you are citing from a section of a book from an anthology. From there, the citation remains the same as that of a book. For example:
Burkholder, J. Peter, Donald Jay Grout, and Claude V. Palisca, eds. A History of Western Music. New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 2010.
Alphabetize all citations by author's last name. In this case, a book written by Brooks would be listed before a book written by Jacobson. If the author's last name is not available, the title of the work is used for alphabetization, meaning that the book "Day in the Life" would come before the book by Jacobson.
Alphabetize multiple books by the same author by book title. If you cite multiple Brooks books, the book "Day in the Life" would be listed before "Geniuses Among Us." Subsequent books by the same author will be denoted with three dashes ("---") in the place of the author's name.
Indent the citation with a hanging indent, if it is of considerable length. In Microsoft Word for PCs, this can be done by hitting "Alt+T."
