5. 6. 3 [CITING BOOKS AND OTHER NONPERIODICAL PUBLICATIONS]
Two or More Books by the Same Author (MLA 153)

To cite two or more books by the same author, 
give the name in the first entry only.  

Thereafter, in place of the name, type three hyphens, 
followed by a period and a title.  The three hyphens 
stand for exactly the same name as in the preceding entry.

If the person named edited, translated, or compiled 
the book, place a comma (not a period) after the 
three hyphens, and write the appropriate abbreviation 
(ed., trans. or comp.).

example:

Jones, Owen.  The Gift of Language.  New York: Bantam, 1963.
---.  The Ways of a Scholar. Dublin: Westcott, 1969.
