Summary: The Standard Guide for Theses, Papers, and Dissertations
Review: The 6th edition, the latest edition, is a required guideline for many students at the university level. However, it is also a necessary guide to follow in order to publish articles in many current journals, periodicals, and scholarly texts. Thus, it is safe to say that this guideline is a must. However, this book, while it is formatted for "easy" use, is often times not at all easy to use. My biggest complaint is that many of the mechanical guidelines that are similar are not grouped together in this text and that means you have to go hunting through the book to find the exact place for certain "lone rules." The book itself needs to be updated further so it will include the latest in computer technology (i.e. the World Wide Web, etc.) All in all, it is helpful in many ways (i.e. citations, bibliography, notes, etc.) How can you not recommend a standard text/guideline that is required in university all over the U.S.?

Summary: A Manual For Writers - Kate L. Turabian
Review: The Gospel According to Kate L. Turabian.

Rating:
Summary: Rather useless for the modern research writer
Review: The Turabian manual is confusing, difficult to use and next to useless for anyone using the Internet or online sources in their research. It has not been updated to reflect the existance of the Internet. As a result, there is no uniform way of citing Internet sources. Use this guide only if forced to by your professor!

Summary: Excellent Book, I recommend to every student in college.
Review: This book provides wonderful advice to all students who have hard time writing. Turabian is a wonderful author and her advices can get you the "A" grade, but you have to do your homework. If you want positive result, then you must practice what you read. And those reviewers who say it is not clearly written, I do not believe it is the fault of the author. I never had a hard time reading this book. Students, if you are commited to college, read this book.

Summary: Very Insufficient
Review: This book really disgusts me and I hated it with a passion.

Rating:
Summary: Very useful for research projects
Review: This has been the Bible for me after THE Bible for the use in Seminary researchs and bibliographies. It's an excellent resource for Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations.

Summary: Good to have
Review: This is a good book to have if you are having to write a paper in Turabian format. It is very boring stuff, but if you need to have it, you need to have it.
