This is how I learned, the old fashioned, old school way. The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, though I think it might have been the 3rd Edition, yes, I had to read an actual book, and had to have someone type my Batchelor’s thesis on an actual typewriter, which was not that bad as long as you could keep the Mastodons and Dinosaurs from crushing your typist and typewriter, but it was a good thing she knew MLA style backwards and forwards, a lot better than I did, got me out of more than a few formatting jams, so I shouldn’t really be so smug. :)
