Review: A History Student's Bible - If you're a history student like myself, this will become your Bible from your first research paper until your dissertation. Seriously, you will be using this thing a lot. The main reason why students buy this book (besides course requirements) is to use it for the citation guide for notes-bibliography format which can get confusing. As a bonus, the manual includes tips and tricks on how to write an effective paper, though some sections can be a little sparse. The weakest part of the book is its section on writing style which is, sadly, lacking. Overall, this book is great to have on hand and is clearly aimed at students. It's written in a clear, easy-to-read manner that makes it accessible to anyone who cares enough to buy a style guide. I would suggest dog-earing the pages on sample citations if you want to figure out quickly how to write a citation without going through the full sections on each aspect of the citation.
Review: Great - A little more than seventy-five years ago, Kate L. Turabian drafted a lot of guidelines to help students understand how to write, cite, and formally submit research writing. The Manual retains three-part structure, leading off with an overview of the steps in the research and writing process, including formulating questions, reading critically, building arguments, and revising drafts. Part II provides an overview of citation practices with detailed data on the two main scholarly citation styles (notes-bibliography and author-date), an array of source types with contemporary examples, and detailed guidance on citing online resources. The final section treats all issues of editorial style, with advice on punctuation, capitalization, spelling, abbreviations, table formatting, and the use of quotations. Everything in this book is very positive and insightful for those writing or executing a research. I liked the way the book is divided, it makes our job easier for us to adopt and apply its orientation to our work. Although I believe it is easy to follow a guideline such as this, I do not intent to say that it is an easy work, it requires a lot of attention and work It will get my work more organized.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good All Around Reference for Writing Papers
*by R***R on August 15, 2013*

Well worth the $$. It has chapters to help you define your topic or hypotheses. Chapters on research, Chapters on deciding who your audience is and then writing appropriately and Chapters on Chicago Style referencing are all included. This book is an easy to follow, step-by-step, writing manual that works for everything from writing High School papers to College and even early-Master's level papers. It has a great 'tree' of starting and then saying if you have your subject, skip to here, if you need to develop a question go to ___ chapter, and so on. Fairly inexpensive and well worth the money.
