5.0 out of 5 stars Chicago manual, 15th ed

Although, I have used APA in the past, having to learn the fundamentals of Chicago style was made much easier with this book. Once again, the seller (calibris) provided quick delivery (after the first seller let me down by not being able to ship by the max date set, thus making me miss my deadline) and extremely excellent customer service. I would mostly like purchase all my future books from this seller!

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Guide for Writers, Editors, and Publishers
Reviewed in the United States on 21 April 2010

This reference , The Chicago Manual of Style, sets the standard on how to refer to an article from a journal, newspaper, book, video or web site, from illustrations, captions and artwork, in your footnote or bibliography. It is the one book reccommended most by academics and scholars. But more, this book has a chapter on the mechanics of indexing, a chapter on Abbreviations ranging from Firms, through Saints and personal names, Compass points, Designations of time, Technology and science, International System of Units, Astronomy, Chemical Elements, Business and Commerce, and more. It has a chapter on Names and Terms that includes Titles and Offices, Epithets and Personifications, Parts of the World, Political Divisions, Public Places and Major Structures, names of organizations such as Government and Judicial bodies, Religious Names and Terms, Military Terms, brand names and trademarks and on and on. It has chapters on the Responsibilities of Publishers, Authors, and Editors; chapters on Grammar, Punctuation, and word usage. Here is a chapter on Numbers that discusses dates, money, addresses, Roman numerals; a chapter on Forign languages and the punctuational and writing characteristics of each including Latin and Classical Greek, African languages and Chinese conversion. Want to learn about Proofs and how to mark proofs? Scholarly writing? Here are pages on Copyright Law and the Licensing of Rights. I have herewith mentioned a little over half of what is in this book.
The Guide will likely come out with an appendix soon on how to reference more electronics like podcasts but even new media is given general referencing instructions.
This is a hardcover book that sells for $50.oo in stores. I paid little more than $30 on Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable!

The Chicago Manual of Style is simply indispensable, especially if you speak British English but write for the American market. It gives you a detailed breakdown of most things you need to know and quite a few things you didn't know you needed to know. It is not only a manual of style but also breaks down the publishing process in more detailed way than most guide books that purport to focus on that alone. In many ways it is a lot better than its British competitors. I wish there was one for British English!

3.0 out of 5 stars 買いかぶりすぎ
Reviewed in Japan on 30 June 2006

評判を聞き、どんなにすばらしいものかと思い買ってみましたが、手にとっても全く読む気が起こらない。

じゃあ参考書として時々使ってみようと思いましたが、自分が欲しい情報に行き着くのにあまりにも時間がかかるか、探し出せない。

Indexも非常に見にくい。

たとえば、semicolonの基本は6.57に説明されていますが、Indexには、説明の大元である6.57に行けという記述はありません。

枝葉の説明がされているセクションがこまごまとわかりにくく列挙されているのみです。

これは致命的ではないでしょうか？

たとえ冒頭のContentsに大項目が列挙されていても、Indexにもその箇所（基本の説明がされている箇所）を記述すべきでしょう。

私のように、最初からIndexを見る読者も多いでしょうから。

洋書はこんなものなのでしょうか？

私はマニュアル作成に従事していますが、和書の索引でこのようなことはありえません。

ちなみに本書では、Contentsではページ番号、Indexではセクション番号が示されています。

この辺もわかりにくいですね。

いざというときに調べるために持っておいても損ではありませんが、他の本ではなく本書でなければいけない理由はないでしょう。

もっとわかりやすい参考書は、日本語・英語にかかわらず、あると思います。
