APA format is the official style of the American Psychological Association and is used in most types of
science and social science writing. Before you create a reference page for your papers, essays,
articles, or reports, it is important to learn how to format your references in proper APA style. The
following examples and guidelines can help you prepare book references in proper APA format.
Basic Structure:
The basic structure of a book reference should list the author's last name, first initials, publication
year, book title, location and publisher. Your reference should appear as follows:
Author, I. N. (Year). Title of book. Location: Publisher.
