If you work with words, this is the reference book you must own. Updated approximately once a decade, the 15th edition is the most significant revision I can remember.
Publishing has changed dramatically and the Manual has changed with it. The editors promise that every aspect of their coverage has been examined and updated. In addition to books, the Manual also provides guidelines for journals and electronic publications. There is a new chapter on American Grammar usage and usage. Design and manufacturing coverage has been streamlined to reflect current procedures. A major improvement is the adding of descriptive headings to each numbered paragraph. This results in the Manual easier to search. |

This is an essential reference tool for anybody who writes, edits, or publishes books or periodicals. I have found previous editions of the Manual to be endlessly useful, and the present edition is no disappointment. It is amazing to me how many different problems the Chicago editors have managed to identify and describe, and how sensible their solutions are. Many (if not most) American publishers consider the Chicago Manual the standard authority. If you are producing literate work designed to be read by literate readers, have a copy close at hand for frequent use. |

I was comparing the three main styles (MLA, APA and Chicago) and decided on Chicago for my client base and because it made the most sense in many cases. This new edition covers Internet and other electronic references and has extensive examples of many different sources. The grammar section, although somewhat new, is weak. I still keep my "Grammatically Correct" handy, but that and the CMoS have replaced my "Random House Handbook". Definitely a book to keep handy for those needing to make professional publications of any type. |

There are a number of style manuals out there. This one is no-nonsense, authoritative, and well-respected. If you want to learn to sharpen your writing and language skills, it would serve you well to study this text and keep it handy for reference. |

If you work in the literary world, it drives you nuts on a daily basis to see how few writers bother to check for accuracy when it comes to using quotes, italics, or underlining in their manuscripts; how few know when to use single quotes or double quotes--don't get me started. Suffice it to say, this is the book to consult. Though there are a half dozen style books, you can't go wrong using Chicago! |

<2007-10-22 00:00>
The Chicago Manual of Style is an essential reference for writers and editors at all levels. As the standard reference for many publishers, it provides accurate and invaluable guidance for all. The Manual can be overwhelming at first. Once its organization is understood, questions of style, syntax, and punctuation can be quickly answered. Usage examples are particularly helpful. I strongly recommend The Chicago Manual of Style to all writers and editors. |

Easy directions for preparing professional papers for college work where the manual is required. Recommend all college students have a copy for their personal files and keep it updated for professional work after graduation. |
