If you only get one reference book about how to record family history, this is it. It's concise and handy as a constant reference. ( )

Exellent book with guidelines for source documentation, tips and rules.

Chock-full of examples, but, like all style guides, a lack of internet citations (though Ms. Mills, a well-known genealogist gives it a bold stab). Good section on why you should cite. ( )

I ordered this book online as I wanted to upgrade my standards for genealogical research. If I'd seen it in a bookstore I probably wouldn't have picked it up, as the hardcover version is $17, which only includes about 60 pages of actual text, the rest of the rather small book being filled with examples of citations and appendices. As it was published in 1997, it also isn't very up-to-date in discussing referencing online sources - which topic, granted, is almost too young to be covered at all. ( )

Good book for learning to cite your sources. Great for publication sources like books, magazines, microfilms, etc. Website sourcing could be better. ( )
