You’ll sometimes see citations like pp. 45+. This is for when your source has a numbered page, then a bunch of unnumbered pages after. Think of a magazine article that starts on page 45, but the conclusion is on an unnumbered page. That plus sign is your friend. But don’t overuse it—if you know the exact end page, just use the hyphen.

I once used a plus sign for a book chapter that went from page 12 to page 18. My friend looked at me like I’d grown a second head. “Why didn’t you just write 12-18?” she asked. I had no good answer. So now you know: save the plus for actual uncertainty.

Block Quotes and Page Ranges (A Little Nerdier)

If you’re quoting a block of text longer than four lines, MLA says you indent the whole thing. In the in-text citation, you still list the page range: (Smith 45-47). Don’t put the pages inside the block quote itself—put them in parentheses after the period. (I know, I know, rules on top of rules.)

And here’s a sneaky one: if your block quote begins on one page and ends on the next, you still write the full range. So even if the first line is on page 50 and the last on page 51, you write 50-51. No skipping. The MLA gods demand completeness.
