Hey I just have a quick question for you college heads..

In my MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers it says .. "If the year of publication is not recorded on the title page, use the latest copyright date"
However, the book I have to copyright has a million dates, and I'm not positive which one to choose.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0141007036...311#reader-link

^Thats the link to the copyright information I'm trying to cite.

It says:
First published by Edward Arnold 1963
Published in Pelican Books 1970
Reprinted in Penguin Books 1990
Reprinted with revised Foreword and Notes on Further Reading 2002

Copyright J.H. Elliot, 1963, 2002

-- -- --

There are years of publication, but which one am I suppose to use? [I'm in HS] My AP teacher told me she was taking the MLA in our research papers, and I just want a little confirmation/validation.

I'm not sure if this was the right place to post, but, if anyone knows the answer its you college heads right? smile.gif
