How do I cite a book in APA format?
assistant
To cite a book in APA format, you will need to provide the author's last name, followed by the year of publication in parentheses. For example, if you were citing the book The Catcher in the Rye (1951) by J.D. Salinger, you would cite it as Salinger (1951). You will also need to include a full reference in the References section of your paper. The full reference should include the author's name, year of publication, title of the book, and the publisher. For example: Salinger, J.D. (1951). The Catcher in the Rye. New York, NY: Little, Brown and Company.
