5 out of 5 stars Attention college students   February 22, 2008

If you are in college and need to write a ton of papers. This is a really good book to have.


5 out of 5 stars Classic reference   February 21, 2008

I used this for my M.A. thesis, and otherwise. It is a classic reference. It has all it needs to.


1 out of 5 stars Nothing new   February 16, 2008

This book offers nothing new and is not very helpful. It's pretty much a waste of money.


5 out of 5 stars Upgrade for an update   February 8, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this comment useful.

This newest edition is clearly an upgrade. It addresses citation of electronic (ebooks, full-text online journal articles, etc) and straight Internet sources more comprehensively than the previous edition (which simply identified everything as either CD-ROM or an online source).

Now divided into three major sections--Research and Writing: From Planning to Production; Source Citation; Style--the layout is more user-friendly.

Particularly helpful is the addition of major section one on the research process itself from beginning to end.

Thus, this is two resources in one.


5 out of 5 stars Still the Best   January 18, 2008

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.)
