 Chicago Manual of Style review May 4, 2008
I ordered this for a specific purpose, my law student son is writing a paper which mandates adherence to the Chicago Manual of Style, hence the purchase. Glad you stocked it. It arrived and will be put to good use.
THE guide for citation April 6, 2008
If you are a writer and need a comprehensive guide for citing references, quotations, and more, the Chicago Manual of Style Guide is for you. Unless, of course, you need to use the APA style.
The only writer's reference book you need February 23, 2008
This is the finest writer's reference book available. It is clear, concise, and thorough. If you write in any aspect of your personal or professional life (and don't we all?), you need this book. And if you love language, it's just fun to sit down and browse through. Do not hesitate to purchase the Chicago Manual of Style!
 storyteller February 8, 2008
I am a first-time author and needed a lot of help. Even with the help from my self-publishing company, I needed more. I had never heard of the Chicago Manual of Style. The publishing company uses this book so I ordered it. I have to admit that it still didn't hold all my answers but it did help. I found it easy to navigate but as all books there were some things that weren't addressed. These I looked for in the Merriman Webster Dictionary. They also have an online dictionary. That was most helpful. I'm glad I ordered the Chicago Manual of Style and I'm sure I'll use it often as I continue to write.
Great reference in an everchanging world January 14, 2008
This is a great book. It provides a broad range of information on style. I use it mostly for formatting references in journal articles (I'm a journal editor). It does have a good amount of international information, too, though has some limits for people who are not living or writing in America--for example, in titles and honorifics, it breaks down right to the municipal level in US, but not in other countries.
Two things I would like to see. First is a hearty softcover edition (this is heavy enough and I carry it a lot of places to do work.
Second is some kind of ability, once you've bought the book, to access the on-line version, which includes both all of the information in the book, and a full range of advice on a variety of other issues that readers have brought to their attention. The two in tandem are the ultimate style resource.
