AGLC4 bibliography entries (final list)

  1. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Vol de Nuit (Gallimard, 1931).
  2. Caitlin Matthews, King Arthur and the Goddess of Land (Aquarian Press, 1990).
  3. Alan Garner, The Owl Service (Collins, 1967).

Step-by-step explanation of how these were formed (AGLC4 principles)

AGLC4 bibliography entries for books follow a simple pattern. For a single-author book the usual form is:

Author name, Title (edition, Publisher, Year).

Key points used above:

  • Author name: Give the author as normally written (initials or full given name as preferred). Examples above use the names as provided (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry; Caitlin Matthews; Alan Garner).
  • Title: Italicise the book title. Capitalisation follows the book's published title; maintain original wording/capitalisation where possible.
  • Edition: Include edition information only if applicable (e.g. "2nd ed"). None of the three items supplied specified an edition, so no edition element appears in the parentheses.
  • Publisher and year: Within the parentheses, give the publisher name followed by the year of publication, separated by a comma: (Publisher, Year).
  • Punctuation: End each bibliography entry with a full stop.

Notes and small variations

  • If a translation or editor should be indicated, it is placed inside the parentheses before the publisher and year (for example: (trans A Translator, Publisher, Year)).
  • For multi-author works, AGLC4 lists authors in the order they appear on the work, separated by "and".
  • If you need pinpoint citations (specific pages or chapters) those belong in footnotes, not in the bibliography entry.

If you want, I can produce the matching AGLC4-formatted footnote citations for these same works, or adapt the bibliography to include translators, editors or specific editions.
