Books with Authors and Editors

General format: C-S and C-N:  Author(s). Title.  Edition number (if any). Place of publication: publisher
                              name; Year. Number of pages.
                              N-Y:  Author(s).  Year. Title.  Edition number (if any). Place of publication: publisher
                              name. Number of pages.

Rules to Remember: a) When a personal author and an organizational author appear on the title page of a document, use the personal author as the author of the document and add the organization name as a note.

b) In citing an organization as an author, the national body such as a government agency should be cited with the country within parentheses, after the name of the organization

c) A place of publication represents the city where the book was published. The cities, such as London and New York are well known and can stand alone. However, other cities that  are not so well known can be confused with cities of the same name in other countries. In order to avoid confusion, use the cities in the US / Canada with the 2 letter abbreviation for the state or province in parentheses. For the cities in other countries use the 2 letter country codes in parentheses. If the place of publication can be found elsewhere other than  the title page or its verso of the book, place the city within square brackets, as “[Philadelphia]”. When a place of publication cannot be found or inferred, use the phrase “place unknown “ within square brackets.
