This manual is very user-friendly. It's a must for anyone writing papers in the respected fields in which it is intended. It is worth every penny.
 Amazingly Useful June 28, 2008

I'm a history minor in college and am starting to get into those history classes that ask for a lot of papers. The teachers said that we would be using the Chicago style to cite our work. A few of the students in the classes along with myself had never heard of the style before so one of the teachers mentioned this book. It helped me so much! It explains what to do and gives examples right away for you to work with when citing work. The only difficulty I had was using the table of contents, but it doesn't take long to work out that issue. Otherwise great book. If you do anything that involves writing when it comes to history, you should have this book!
A Good Refernce Manual April 26, 2008
This is more of a reference book than a sit-down-and-read-through book. It provides proper formatting for footnotes, in-text citations, and bibliography, and gives some guides for planning, structuring, and writing papers. If you're looking for a book that is a little better for how to craft arguments and progress through a paper logically, "The Craft of Research" is better for those reasons. Still, this is a convenient book to have on the shelf for reference, especially with proper citation.
Improvement over last excellent edition April 13, 2008
The latest edition of this useful manual is a further improvment over the last edition. It is easier to find information and has additional information that is very helpful.
