The Chicago Manual of Style, 17th Edition : The University of Chicago Press Editorial Staff: desertcart.ae: Books Review: This was an upgrade from my online software purchase of the 15th edition (Windows and I've since converted to Macs so it became inaccessible). As a freelance editor, this guide is a brilliant resource. And when I could not find sufficient advice on a footnote/biblio issue I had, I wrote to them, not really expecting an answer, and got a detailed personalised response in six hours. Needless to say, I was both taken aback and impressed. But just a terrific resource for any professional editor working on full-length fiction and nonfiction projects. Review: The Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) is arguably the best (and maybe the biggest!) of a variety of style manuals. "Style" means the format by which articles, books, journals, magazines and online magazines are written and published. It is a "how-to" guide to achieve pretty darned perfect writing, containing everything conceivable a writer, proofreader, copy editor or managing editor needs to know. Traditionally used for books, it can be used for other types of writing. Rather formidable at first sight, I find the best approach is to choose one small section ("Commas" for example) and just read through it, easily done at one sitting. Commas? Really? Oh, yes. Who knew all the information about the simple comma, about which lots! of people make mistakes... but not with the Chicago Manual of Style. Do yourself of favor and buy the best.

This is the real Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) - there are, unfortunately, some fakes listed on Amazon.de. This is a HUGE book and is the comprehensive version of the CMS. You don't need anything else if you have to submit a thesis/dissertation or manuscript using the CMS.
