How do you cite info in a book that was published elsewhere first?

In the Chicago Manual of Style, how would I properly cite a bit of information that was originally from another source, but I am reading it in a book? Do I cite the book, because that is where I personally accessed it, or, do I copy the original source info from the book author’s bibliography?

How do I write and have my autobiography published?

I’m not famous but i’ve had quite alot of dramas over the past few years and think that my life so far might make for a good autobiography.

I think i’d be good at writing but i’m obviously not a professional writer. I’ve graduated from uni after writing a dissertation, so I know I can write well academically.I’m sure that whilst I may be able to write OK, my work wont be up to the that are required for publishing.(It doesn’t help that I have dyslexia!)

I’d really appreciate any advice as to how I go about getting started…

Proper MLA citation for an ONLINE book that was published in print?

I’m accessing an online book (an “ebook”) through my college’s database. It is a book that was originally published in print, and it includes the author’s name, the print publication location and date, etc. It is essentially a copy of the printed book that has been scanned into the database.

How do I cite this properly with MLA format? I’ve seen about 10 different versions!!!

How do I do in-text citations (preferably MLA style) for multiple published letters in the same collection?

I am writing a paper using five or six letters from one individual to another individual, all published in the same collection. I know I should have individual entries in my works cited list for each letter, but when I do in-text citations such as

“Our controversy has ended” (Malthus 25).

how do I indicate which letter it’s from? Usually you’re supposed to use an abbreviated title after the author name, but I can’t figure out what an identifying title might be. Can I just leave out additional information since the page number will be enough to place it (all…
