Interesting categories. I’m not quite sure what you meant by “press review.” Can you clarify what that category means exactly? Also, the example you’ve used is actually a book, a mistake that other groups made on this activity. You can tell it’s a book because there are parentheses at the end that mention a city or town (Princeton is town where book’s publisher has its headquarters), the name of a publisher (Princeton University Press), followed by a year (the date the book was published). Take a look at the guidelines for how to cite a book using the MLA citation format to see how books are typically listed in a bibliography or note.
