Chicago Style Guide, for 17th Edition

Introduction

The method for citing books in Notes-style serves as a model for constructing bibliographic entries in many other types of sources. A complete reference should always contain enough information to enable any reader to locate the book (either physically or digitally). Within the Notes-style of citation, there are 9 elements to each entry (depending on your source, some elements will be omitted). Remember that each element is separated by a comma.
 

1. Author: full name of author(s) or editor(s) or, if no author or editor is listed, name of institution standing in their place. (Firstname Middlename Lastname)
2. Title: full title of the book, including subtitle if there is one, written in italicized characters with all major words capitalized. If referencing a chapter write (chapter name) in (book title) with quotation marks around the chapter title. (e.g. citation 2)
3. Editor, compiler, or translator: if any, if listed on title page in addition to author (Firstname Middlename Lastname). (e.g.  citation 3)
4. Edition: if not the first.
5. Volume: total number of volumes if multi-volume work is referred to as a whole; individual number if single volume of multi-volume work is cited, and title of individual volume if applicable (title written in italicized characters). (e.g. citation 8)
6. Series title: if applicable and volume number within series if series is numbered.
7. Facts of publication: (city, publisher and date)
8. Page number or numbers: if applicable. (e.g. citation 5)
9. URL/DOI: (For electronic books accessed online), or for other types of electronic books, an indication of the medium consulted (e.g. Kindle e-book, CD-ROM)
