Unit 10: Chicago referencing - Books
Books
These pages only cover the Notes and Bibliography system for citing books. For each type of source, we give both the general form and a specific example. We use this format:
- Full Note - use the first time that you cite a source.
- Concise Note - use after the first time you cite a source.
- Bibliography - use when you are compiling the Bibliography that appears at the end of your paper.
Examples in this section:
Book with one author or editor
The general format below refers to a book with one author. If you are dealing with one editor instead of one author, insert the editor's name in the place where the author's name is now, followed by a comma and the word "ed." without the quotation marks. The rest of the format remains the same.
General format
- Full Note:
1. Author First Name/Initial Surname, Book Title: Subtitle (Place of Publication: Publisher, Year), page #. - Concise note:
2. Author Surname, Book Title, page #. - Bibliography:
Author Surname, First Name or Initial. Book Title: Subtitle. Place of Publication: Publisher, Year.
