Keep the following guidelines in mind when preparing book entries for the Works Cited list.
Author: An author’s name (exactly as it appears on the title page) should appear as: Last name
first, followed by a comma, then by the First and Middle names or initials. Put a period after the
author’s name.
1. Title: Copy the title and subtitle (if any) from the title page, not from the cover or spine of the
book. Underline the title and capitalize all major words. Separate the main title from the
subtitle with a colon. Put a period after the title and subtitle.
2. Publication Information: Copy the publication information (the city of publication, the
publisher, and the year of publication) from the title and copyright pages. If more than one
city is listed on the title page, cite the first one only. Put a colon and one space after the city
of publication before the publisher’s name.
