Re: page no. in reference

As far as I'm aware, pp. is for a range (e.g. pp.1-9) and p. for a single page (e.g. p.92) when used in citing an argument, article or chapter.


But pp. is also used when including a book in your bibliography and giving the total number of pages.

E.g.

Warburton, N. (2004) Philosophy: The Basics, 4th Edn., London: Routledge, 169pp.

Hope that helps. If anybody knows otherwise, please point it out!

Personally I find the last bibliography thing a little anally-retentive. Most of my tutors are happy with:

Author, I. (XXXX) Some interesting title: in italics, Location: Publisher.

All the best,

Rab.
