Books: Step 2
Books vary as to the citation information available. Some books have only one author, other books have more than one author, and some even have no authors. The examples below show how to cite books in a reference page. If you are using a book that includes citation information not covered in this tutorial, you can consult the APA Publication , ask the Reference Librarian for help, or visit the Writing and Reading Center.
