Product reviewsThe Chicago Manual of Style, 16th Edition by University of University of Chicago Press Staff (2010, Hardcover)

Good Value for the Price

The Chicago Manual of Style is widely used by publishing companies and a must for copyeditors and editors who must follow its style. The current edition is the 17th edition, so the 16th edition I purchased is fairly recent. The price was right, considering that new copies of the 17th edition run at $85 and above. It was a library discard but in very good shape overall. I'm happy with it, the price and the delivery speed. Read full review...

Get this to understand the fraud right under our noses

Tells us the Grammatical rules of the English language and also reveals the all uppercase text as foreign to English, exposing all western Governments as fraudulent.

I like its style

Most New York publishing houses insist book editors use the Chicago Manuel of Style. It's excellent and continually updated.

Essential Reference

This is an essential reference for writers and editors. The only way it could be better and more useful is to include a digital copy so it can be searched.
