what additional information is needed for each book entry to follow mla guidelines?

a word describing the medium
a description of the book’s circulation
the month and day the book was read
the number of pages in the book

The basic rules of MLA (Modern Language Association) for Works Cited Page should include: “Author. Title. Title of container (self contained if book), Other contributors (translators or editors), Version (edition), Number (vol. and/or no.), Publisher, Publication Date, Location (pages, paragraphs URL or DOI). 2nd container’s title, Other contributors, Version, Number, Publisher, Publication date, Location, Date of Access (if applicable).”

After MLA Handbook (8th ed.) a word describing the medium is not applicable anymore because nowadays books come in many forms together including audios or CDs, also books don't need the information about the month and day the book was read, while a description of the book’s circulation is for the library, so the most correct answer is The number of pages in the book, that is the same as information about Location.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
