 Best purchase of the semester December 8, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Being a foreigner and having just started grad school in the US, I've found this manual hugely helpful. It goes from the basic elements of writing a paper to things even experienced writers might wonder at times. It's written in a simple, yet thorough manner, and has many examples. The section on the citation of sources is terrific and includes the use (and citation of) on-line sources.
A must-have!
A Good Refernce Manual April 26, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.

Turabian's book provides the standard required by the instituion at which I am working toward my master's.
It is thorough, complete and necessary.
Highly recommended.

Turabian is still the must-have reference source for scholarly writing outside of the legal field. (For legal scholarship, the 18th edition of Harvard's The Bluebook is Turabian's counterpart.)
