Tips for this reference type

  • See Manual 13.22, 14.2 and 14.1.
  • For books with more than one author, consult the About Chicago B page.
  • The Chicago Manual of Style no longer requires the place of publication to be included in most book citations. See Manual 14.30.
  • Specify the edition if it is not the first edition (see Manual 14.15).
  • Invert the first listed author's name in the reference list (Surname, Given Name).
  • For books in an alternative format (i.e. microfilm), include the format type after the facts of publication (Manual 14.17).
  • In the bibliography, no page numbers are given for books. Give beginning and ending page numbers for book chapters.
  • For online books, include the DOI (or URL) as the last part of the citation.
  • Where there are no page numbers, you may refer to chapter or section headings. See Manual 14.59.
