Summary: Always a very useful reference tool, but needs to be updated
Review: A must have for all college and graduate students. Turabian answers all questions regarding proper citation, organization, and formatting. The only downside is that research has changed dramatically since this issue was published and the book is not too helpful in dealing with electronic/internet resources.

Summary: An Essential
Review: An Essential for writers and students, however, needs to be updated to add current information for citing sources off the Internet.

Summary: A must for any serious graduate student.
Review: As a new graduate student I found myself overwhelmed by the requirements of the standard research paper. Having little knowledge of the proper way to reference and list bibliographies, I went to the local library for help. The librarian suggested Turabian's book. Needless to say I took her advice and brought the book home with me. I found this book to be an invaluable tool. So much in-fact that I decided to purchase a copy for myself. No student library is complete without this book.

Summary: i hated having to use it....
Review: because in my class i would get docked points just for not putting a period in the correct spot! oh well. it's not too bad of a book. quite complex though. you'd think that our civilization becoming more advanced, we'd find an easier way to write. oh well, we can't all have the world.

Summary: Terabian is the ultimate source for serious writers
Review: I have been using the Terabian style book for about ten years. Though Kate Terabian passed away several years ago, her legacy lives on in her style book. The book is well-organized, and covers every question I have ever had regarding punctuation, formatting, and style. The proliferation of examples is what makes it easy to use. I would recommend it, especially for serious academic writers, both students and teachers. The only caution I have is that a casual writer may find it too technical.

Summary: Excellent resource
Review: I recommend this to anybody who wants a great manual, but it is most relevant for college students, and perhaps those with even more education, although I would assume that they would get an even more detailed manual. The book has many chapters, but the chapters that make this book great are the chapters on citations. If you are interested in how to use commas or abbreviations this book has that, but there are better, easier books out there. However, if you want a quick, easy reference for Chicago Style citations this book is great. Almost every question you could possibly have about a citation will be answered by the books attention to detail. Like others have said in their reviews, the book doesn't do a good job with electronic information. Still, the book is worth buying. This book is great. Buy it now.

Summary: Completely confusing
Review: I was told that this book made the Chicago Manual of Style look like tax code. Indeed Turabian's book is alot thinner and completely well organized, but I just couldn't seem to find what I needed, ever. I returned to the Chicago Manual of Style, and ended up returning my copy of Turabian to the bookstore.

Summary: Find something else, it's impossible to find answers
Review: If it was allowed this book would have a negative star rating. Use this book only if you have the time to take a full semester course on navigating Turabians antiquated and contorted layout. The author died in 1987. It's impossible to use. It is confusing, and when it contains information you need, it is well hidden. Find something else and save hours of study time! I've struggled through two term papers because my school demands its use. As much time was spent searching the Turabian book for answers as was spent on researching the term paper subject!
