List the author of the textbook at the beginning of the citation. The author's name should be listed with last name first, followed by a comma, and then the first letter of the first name, followed by a period. For example: Kidder, T. If there are two authors then an "&" sign is placed between the two, and the authors are listed as they are on the textbook rather than alphabetical order. Such as, Frank, R., & Bernanke, B.
Place the year that the textbook was written after the author's name, in parenthesis and followed by a period. For example, (2011).
Write the name of the textbook next in italics and followed by a period, with only the first word capitalized, as in, Principles of macroeconomics.
List the city of the publisher, followed by a colon, and then write the name of the publisher, followed by a period. Such as, Boston: McGraw-Hill.
