MLA Handbook by 
MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing by The basic in-text citation form for MLA style is the author's name and a page number within parentheses, like this: (Lessig 36) or (Asimov and Lazar 55). If the author's name is mentioned in your text, you can omit it from the citation: "Lessig has argued this point (36)."
The bibliography should appear on a new page at the end of the paper, entitled "Works Cited." Alphabetize the works cited list by author's last name, or by title if a work's author is unknown or not given.
Book citations consist of the basic form:
Author's last name, first name. Title of the book. Publication information.
The publication information typically includes the publisher name, and the year of publication. If the work is an e-book, the 9th edition of the MLA Style Manual dictates including the database (container) from which the book was retrieved, followed by a period. For example:
Zauditu-Selassie, K. African Spiritual Traditions in the Novels of Toni Morrison. UP of Florida, 2009.
