How do I reference a book in MLA?

[nishamehta]

I’m writing a paper and need to reference a book using MLA style. Could someone please provide a clear example and explain the format? Also, how does the format differ for online books or edited volumes?

• Author’s last name, first name
• Title of Book (italicized)
• Publisher
• Year of publication
• Use hanging indent format
• Double-space the citation
• Example: Smith, John. The Art of Writing. Penguin, 2020.
