How do you reference a book in an essay?

Answer 1

That depends on the sort of essay which one is writing. However, per the Chicago Manual of Style a book can either be underlined or in italics as long as one is consistent in the usage in an essay. No quotation marks are needed for a book.

Answer 2

When referencing a book in an essay, the first step is to address the actual title and author of the book. There are a few ways to structure this kind of sentence. For example: "In Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"....."

Answer 3

You put it in quotation marks, with a comma after it.

Ex) ... in the book "The Outsiders",...

Underline or italicize

Another AnswerIf the essay is handwritten then the title should be underlined. If it is word-processed (typed) then it should be in italics. Quotation marks aren't necessary.

Answer 4

When referencing a book in an essay, include the author's last name and the page number in parentheses at the end of the sentence where the information is used. For example: (Smith 42). At the end of your essay, include a reference list with the author's full name, book title, publication year, and other relevant information in the chosen citation style (e.g., APA, MLA).
