: Re: Am I correctly referencing chapters which belong to the same book? Looking for some help on how to reference chapters in a book inside of a booking I'm helping with. Should I be capitalizing

In Chicago style, "chapter" is lowercased, even if it is used as a title. (An example from the Chicago Manual of Style Q&A page: www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/CMS_FAQ/Capitalization/Capitalization10.html)
APA style also suggests lowercasing "chapter."

The Mayfield Handbook of Technical & Scientific Writing, on the other hand, recommends capitalizing "references to specific figures, tables, chapters, sections, equations."

So, in short, it varies between different style guides. If the book you're working on isn't following a particular style guide, then it's up to your or the author's preference, as long as you're consistent. (I'd recommend making a note of decisions like this on a style sheet for the book--which could be as simple as a list in a Word document. That can help keep things consistent.)
