If I want to write a book on training/learning/technol... what citation style should I us (APA, CMS, MLA)?

Question:If I want to write a book on training/learning/technology, what citation style should I us (APA, CMS, MLA)? Any suggestions as to why one might be preferred over another? I was thinking that APA would be most appropriate, but I don't have a good reason for that other than I wrote a thesis that required the citations to be in that style.

Answers:
If you want to have the book published, just compare it to other books published by the same publisher, and use that style. If you're self publishing, use the method you either find most often in similar books, or find easiest to understand.
APA is used more by textbook publishers I believe.
No

APA is only for journals.

Book publishers want traditional style. Much like Chicago Style.

Annotations are fine.

Two spaces after periods.

Double spaced lines

Left jagged

Underscored for Italics

Double underscored for BOLD

Book publishers are TRADITIONAL PEOPLE

They are not ACADEMIC JOURNALS

They want a traditional manuscript using STANDARD editorial format.

It's in the Dictonary, look it up.

Double underscored wavey line

STANDARIZED type setting marks!

The type setter is a high school graduate who has worked at the publisher for 10+ years.
