Hi, I have a bibtex file with references to many books, and sometimes I need to reference different pages of the same book. So what \bibliographystyle{?} that I can use which will allow the references in the main body of my report to appear like this (authorname, p. xx) where p.xx is the page number be. I see this format in many scientific papers. Also, how do I cite the page number using \cite{key ???}
Please give me as much details as you can.

Citation of author and page number (authorname, p.)
The \cite command has an optional parameter for the page numbers.
E.g., \cite[pp. 10--15]{key} may well give the desired effect, at least if you pick the right bibliography style. I don't know of any bibliography style that only prints the authorname in the citation, but perhaps one of the authordate versions would suit you.
E.g., put:
\usepackage{authordate1-4}
in the header and then
\bibliographystyle{authordate3}
\bibliography{mybibfile}
Where you want your bibliography to go.

Re: Citation of author and page number (authorname, p.)
Thank you so much, \cite[pp. 10--15]{key} with \bibliographystyle{alpha} works well too. I will check authordate as well. thank you once again
