In APA (7th edition) format, you cite a specific page from a book as follows:

In-Text Citation:

Narrative: Author (Year, p. X)

Parenthetical: (Author, Year, p. X)

Example:

Smith (2020, p. 45) explains that...

(Smith, 2020, p. 45)

Reference List Citation:

Format:

Author, A. A. (Year). Title of the book (Edition if applicable, pp. X–Y). Publisher.

Example:

Smith, J. (2020). The future of technology (2nd ed., pp. 45–46). Tech Publishers.

If citing an entire book, omit the page numbers in the reference list. Let me know if you need more details!
