There are a few essential elements of a book citation, including author(s), title, publisher, and year of publication.
When following MLA style, make note of the order of elements in the citation, and that the "medium of publication"—either Print or Web—is identified. Here is a color-coded guide to creating book citations, followed by additional examples:
Lastname, Firstname. Title of Book Italicized.
