Generally, authors names are addressed in the same manner regardless of material type, although books are more likely to have editors. In the case where there is an editor(s), the name should be followed by (Ed.) or (Eds.) as appropriate.
In the case of an edition other than the first, the title should be followed by the edition with the period following the edition instead of the title. The edition is NOT italicized, for example - (2nd ed.).
Book chapters are quite different, in that the chapter author(s) may not be the same as the book editors, and page numbers are also included. See examples via the left sidebar.
In addition, there are "corporate authors", such as the American Psychological Association, American Cancer Society, etc. In the case of corporate authorship, the author should be cited as the proper organization name, i.e., American Psychological Association. There are a variety of other authorship types - see the Manual.
