Thread: Some (hopefully) constructive help needed

I know you probably don't care to read about this, but that's fine, don't. However, I'm writing a paper for a politics class and have a problem citing something.

I have a book of essays that I'm citing, but I'm not sure whether to cite it as if it were a magazine article, or not. To be honest, I'm not sure how else, but at the same time, I want to give proper citation to the authors, particularly both to the author of the essay and the editors and publishers of the book. The problem is citing the book as a magazine of essays doesn't say anything about the editors or publishers.

For the record, I'm using MLA formatting, and I can't think of anything else necessary. I just wanted some opinion as to whether I should do it that way or if anyone else has a better idea.

If you could help me, that would be awesome. If you can't, flame [EDIT: post loving things about] hopeyoudie.
