HOW DO I CITE A QUOTE FROM A BOOK

To cite a quote from a book, you will need to follow a specific format depending on the citation style you are using, such as MLA, APA, or Chicago. Here are examples of how to cite a quote from a book using MLA and APA formats:

MLA Format: In-text citation: – “Quote goes here”

(Author’s Last Name page number).

For example: – “The only way to do great work is to love what you do”

Works Cited entry: – Author’s Last Name, First Name. Title of Book. Publisher, Year.

For example: – Jobs, Steve. The Steve Jobs Way. Penguin Books, 201

APA Format: In-text citation: – “Quote goes here” FAMILY SHARE QUOTES

(Author’s Last Name, Year, p. page number).

For example: – “The only way to do great work is to love what you do”

(Jobs, 2011, p. 37).

References entry: – Author’s Last Name, First Initial(s). (Year). Title of Book. Publisher.

For example: – Jobs, S. (2011). The Steve Jobs Way. Penguin Books.

Remember to adapt these examples to match the specific book and author you are quoting from, and to follow the citation style guidelines provided by your instructor or institution.
