Dear Netters,

One of our grade 12 students is writing her big "final" essay in psychology
and is using APA citation and referencing style.

She used a textbook (author Gross, publication date 1987) in which an author
called Stern(1976)is cited. She used this citation in the text of her essay.
However, no other data than the name Stern and the date 1976 are given by
Gross (no tile, no nothing!)

According to my understanding of the rules she should have in her references
list:

Stern (1976). Title of Stern's book. In Gross ....

As we do not have the tile, what should she do?

Thanks a million!
