 Excellent resource April 14, 2001
11 out of 15 found this review helpful
I recommend this to anybody who wants a great manual, but it is most relevant for college students, and perhaps those with even more education, although I would assume that they would get an even more detailed manual. The book has many chapters, but the chapters that make this book great are the chapters on citations. If you are interested in how to use commas or abbreviations this book has that, but there are better, easier books out there. However, if you want a quick, easy reference for Chicago Style citations this book is great. Almost every question you could possibly have about a citation will be answered by the books attention to detail. Like others have said in their reviews, the book doesn't do a good job with electronic information. Still, the book is worth buying. This book is great. Buy it now.
 Needs better online citation guide May 22, 1999
10 out of 18 found this review helpful
While Turabian does provide for the most part ample and lucid descriptions of the varied types of possible citations and reference notes, it is lacking in the area of online and internet citations. The section on online documentation is brief and entirely fails to mention world wide web or other internet sources. The reader is left on his own to cite this important category of sources.
 Rather useless for the modern research writer December 2, 2003
10 out of 26 found this review helpful
The Turabian manual is confusing, difficult to use and next to useless for anyone using the Internet or online sources in their research. It has not been updated to reflect the existance of the Internet. As a result, there is no uniform way of citing Internet sources. Use this guide only if forced to by your professor!
This book is a must for any writer. April 13, 1999

This is a must for the college student or research paper writer. It gives line by line examples for how to correctly include footnotes, endnotes, etc. into your paper. I recommend it to all my students.
Find something else, it's impossible to find answers November 18, 2002
7 out of 18 found this review helpful
If it was allowed this book would have a negative star rating. Use this book only if you have the time to take a full semester course on navigating Turabians antiquated and contorted layout. The author died in 1987. It's impossible to use. It is confusing, and when it contains information you need, it is well hidden. Find something else and save hours of study time! I've struggled through two term papers because my school demands its use. As much time was spent searching the Turabian book for answers as was spent on researching the term paper subject!
