If a person is writing a book, what is the best way to cite references? APA says footnotes are too expensive?

as well as endnotes. Is is better to just not put in footnotes and just put in a bibliography at the end? It someone wants to find the information, they will have a hard time finding it. Does anyone out there know the answer to this?If a person is writing a book, what is the best way to cite references? APA says footnotes are too expensive?

As a reader, I think end notes are preferable. But that's really the publisher's decision, not the author's.
