How to cite a passage from my book in my paper?

I was reading the back cover of my book, and i wanted to use an exact phrase that was in it. I didn't know how to cite it or if I even have to cite it, but I'm guessing i have to so it wont be considered plagiarism .So if anyone knows please let me know[:

admin answers:

Yes, you have to cite it, as it is not yours. Cite the phrase like you normally would, but instead of page, use the phrase "dust cover."

Sandy asks…

How, after a quote in a research paper, would I cite something from a book of short stories?

In the paper, how do I cite a quote that is from a short story from a book of short stories?

Example:
(Smith 24) would be a normal citation..

The book of short stories is composed by someone other than the author (all the stories share the same author). I want to cite what the actual author, Ambrose Bierce, says in one of his stories.. I can't really go by page number, can I? It is many stories in one book, that is composed by Edward Wagenknecht.

So, do I still say:
(Bierce 95) ?

Thanks.

You want the author who said it. If you want the bibliography use easybib.com

Get the proper format help sheet from the librarian in your school. The citation will differ depending on the source, internet, book, article, etc. At least you'll have examples to follow.
