Best Practices for Creative Commons attributions - how to attribute works you reuse under a Creative Commons license (newmediarights.org)
Book – Title, author, license written somewhere near the title and author if it’s a hard copy or if it’s an online book you should include a link to the licensed terms. BIAS - Commercial

Additional Best Practices

With CC 4.0 licenses and newer, if the title of a work is not available or unknown, including the title in your attribution is not critically necessary, but best practices dictate including the title whenever possible
Make sure you go to the site you got the work from and say that you have used their work. This is not only good karma, but creators often share their work under Creative Commons for precisely this reason, that it will be picked up and gain a broader audience through reuse and sharing.
