it can be used as reference. perfectly valid, provided you cite the source, with author, year, title, the publishers:city, right?


Indeed. Except city should come before publishers and year, at least following MLA.

Example: I had gin & tonics in the bath tub.
Cf. Adams, Douglas. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. A Trilogy in Four Parts. 1986. London: Pan Books, 1992. Print. p 266.

Also, I am most certain I have tried stuff I have only read about in books. However, I can't remember any, so it can't have been a particularly good idea.
