Is this right mla citation for a book?

Question

Coolidge, Olivia. Greek Myths. Boston, NewYork: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1977.

Answer 1

Mm, looks right, but thought I'd give you a site I always use...just put in the information and it will do the citation for you. It's incredibly useful, especially when you have a project with a lot of different types of sources.

Answer 2

The other responders are right about the underlining of the book and the use of only one city. In addition, you don't need the word Company because it's assumed.

Are you sure you've got the date of publication correct? I've looked it up, and I found a 2001 version with no indication of previous editions. Verify the date of publication.

The citation should look like this (with simulated underlining):
Coolidge, Olivia. _Greek_Myths_. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1977.
(if your citation goes onto the second line of text, indent the second line by one-half inch.)

Answer 3

When you're listing the city of publication, you only need to list one city, in this case, Boston. If you're citing a city that's lesser known, you include the city and state abbreviation, like this: Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press.

Answer 4

If Greek Myths is the title of the book, remember to underline it. Other than that, it looks good.

Answer 5

The only thing that is missing is the underlining of the title of the book. Also, when you underline it do not underline the period after it.

Answer 6

yes but don't forget your space in New York

Answer 7

yes it is
