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.
