In APA, the title page includes a running head and page number, while MLA typically does not require a title page. MLA uses in-text citations with the author's last name and page number, whereas APA includes the author's last name and the year of publication.

Are there specific guidelines for citing books in both styles?

Yes, in APA, a book citation includes the author's last name, first initial, year of publication, title in italics, and publisher. In MLA, it includes the author's full name, title in italics, publisher, and year of publication.
