Put book titles in italics whenever referenced to adhere to APA standards. You can also underline a book title but italics are preferred.
Do not use titles of books for in-text citations when using APA format. In-text citations use the author and publication year in parentheses, for example (Smith, 2003) and don't include a book title.
Cite book titles alphabetically by author in your reference list (also called a works cited page). Because the author's name is listed first in an APA citation, you list authors alphabetically, not the book titles. Always include the full title of the book in italics and include the edition if applicable.
Capitalize only the first letter of the first word of the book title. For example if the book is "Pride and Prejudice" you would write it as Pride and prejudice.
