5 out of 5 stars Copyeditor Critiques Copy   November 5, 2006
The Chicago Manual of Style is a big help in my copyediting business. I refer to it equally as often as I do to the AP Stylebook. While the books sometimes have conflicting recommendations for proper writing, it's good to have two valued points of view.

ugh. This book is so tedious. Hard to find stuff but good examples.


5 out of 5 stars The best and only...   January 9, 2007
This book is an essential tool for anyone who wants to make sure that their writing is at the highest level in terms of grammar, syntax and so forth. It is the one book endorsed by the publishing industry as the "bible." If you write, fiction or nonfiction, you must own this book!


4 out of 5 stars Good Resource   January 10, 2007
I bought this book because my university relies on the Chicago Manual of Style's formatting for dissertations and such. It's a good reference for writing dissertations and papers. In areas where formatting is still somewhat not standardized (such as audio recordings, websites), this manual provides general guidelines of what information should be included. The section on electronic resource is quite applicable although more examples would be helpful.
