Here is a list of each element you might find in a bibliography entry for a book or part of a book.

• The author's or authors' names (or the editor or editors' names if you are referring to a collection). This part of the entry comes first, since a bibliography is in most cases an alphabetical listing by author of material used in writing a book or report.
• The title of the work.
• The name of the collection you found the work in.
• The editor's or editors' names (if the work appears in a collection), or translator or compiler, if one is used.
• The edition number for works other than a first edition.
• The number(s) of the volume(s) used.
• Publication data: the place of publication, followed by the publisher's name, and in MLA, the date of the publication.
• The page numbers of the work, if the work is part of a collection.
