Here are some of the guidelines of how to cite a book in APA format:
Single author is easy to cite in a book. For example “My life” (fake titled name), written by “David john” in 2010 by “Star publishers”, “Watson's road, U.K”.For example:“The most important thing a mentally handicapped person is that he or she is a person with very much in common with us. Some people are cleverer than others. Only a few people can win prizes for science. Some people can write great novels or poetry but most of us cannot do so” (Christine miles, 1987).In the above example author defined us about the mentally handicapped. The name of the author and publication year of a book is cited in a bracket.  You can also re-phrase the paragraph:Christine Miles, (1987) defines that……..In the above example only the year of the publication is cited in parentheses. Use the same method for citations of one or two authors. If you need to mention three or more writers, you should mention all the writers in first citation. Then you need to mention only the first writer in the citation and use abbreviation for others, for example: “et al”. Follows these examples:In one of the famous case studies of mentally handicapped, Christine, Miles, Lisa, and Sonia (1986) describes……………….The output of this case study agrees with the study of Christine et al. (1986)………..At the last page of your book, you should mention all the citations you mentioned in a book.
