\nWhile citing a book, please note that:
\n\u2022 Don\u2019t forget to capitalise the first letter of the very first word of the title and subtitles. It is also common for the first letter of the proper nouns.
\n\u2022 The entire name of the book along with the subtitles should be italicised.
\nCiting an e-book from an e-reader
\nAn e-book is an abbreviated form of an electronic book. It is actually a digitalised version of the book which can be read on a computer and also on an e-reader or any other electronic device.
