Technologies may change, but the need for clear and accurate communication never goes out of style. That is why for more than one hundred years The Chicago Manual of Style has remained the definitive guide for anyone who works with words. In the seven years since the previous edition debuted, we have seen an extraordinary evolution in the way we create and share knowledge. This seventeenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style has been prepared with an eye toward how we find, create, and cite information that readers are as likely to access from their pockets as from a bookshelf. It offers updated guidelines on electronic workflows and publication formats, tools for PDF annotation and citation management, web accessibility standards, and effective use of metadata, abstracts, and keywords. It recognizes the needs of those who are self-publishing or following open access or Creative Commons publishing models. The citation chapters reflect the ever-expanding universe of electronic sources—including social media posts and comments, private messages, and app content—and also offer updated guidelines on such issues as DOIs, time stamps, and e-book locators. Other improvements are independent of technological change. The chapter on grammar and usage includes an expanded glossary of problematic words and phrases and a new section on syntax as well as updated guidance on gender-neutral pronouns and bias-free language. Key sections on punctuation and basic citation style have been reorganized and clarified. To facilitate navigation, headings and paragraph titles have been revised and clarified throughout. And the bibliography has been updated and expanded to include the latest and best resources available. This edition continues to reflect expert insights gathered from Chicago’s own staff and from an advisory board of publishing experts from across the profession. It also includes suggestions inspired by emails, calls, and even tweets from readers. No matter how much the means of communication change, The Chicago Manual of Style remains the ultimate resource for those who care about getting the details right..

Every thing you'd like to know about writing is in it!
This classic book covers every area that a writer could be interested in--punctuation, grammar, usage, the publishing process, copyright, etc.The main reason I bought this book was to seek guidance on punctuation, and I am happy with the comprehensive instructions provided by the manual.

Unexpectedly easy buy for me
It's the correct book for sure, and I'm really glad I could find this so easily on Amazon. But though the book as a whole was in God shape, the cover showed signs of folding that I couldn't quite fathom. Nonetheless, a great buy.

Brilliant resource
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.

Buyu the Best - Forget the Rest!
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.

The read thing
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.

It's a classic, so buy it!
I've been using the Chicago Manual of Style for many years. I typically buy new editions when they come out because usage (and even grammar) changes over time. The book is close to being exhaustive--although not completely so because every once in a while I come across some issue that they don't cover.The index is pretty good, but as with any book that covers so much ground, it has to leave some things out. So, you sometimes need to hunt around for a while to find the discussion you're looking for. Not necessarily a bad thing, though, because you're likely to stumble on some other interesting--if unrelated--discussions while doing the search.If you write a lot, this book is pretty much indispensable.
