About Citing Books

For each type of source in this guide, the general form and specific examples will be provided for both the Notes-Bibliography and the Author-Date style options of Turabian.

This information and several of the examples were drawn from A manual for writers of research papers, theses, and dissertations (9th edition). Numbers in parentheses refer to specific pages in the manual.

For further information, please ask your instructor or refer to the Turabian manual.

Chapter in an Edited Book with Multiple Authors

The general format below refers to a chapter of book with multiple contributing authors. Be sure to note the use of the word "In" which refers the reader to the title of the book that the chapter is found in. This type of citation or reference also uses the names of both the chapter author and the book editor.
