    The Craft of Research by Wayne C. Booth (LordMartron)
    LordMartron: I haven't read The Craft of Research yet, but I think it's a little more comprehensive than A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations. In addition, I think they can complement each other very well.

A useful guide to double check how to properly cite your works in Chicago Style. However, most of the book is information that is not needed; I only used the quick citation guide. ( )

Great reference book. Turabian provides examples of nearly every item you need for research and writing. I wish I could say that I did not have to read this book but it is an excellent reference tool. ( )

I'm not really done, done, as this is one of those reference books I'll continue to go back to. But it is written in an inviting manner.

This is a general Chicago Manual of Style book. Overall, it is well organized and I gave it an extra half-star for the Oxford comma. I have nothing to compare it to other than some long-ago usage of MLA, which was awful nonsense. Chicago wins over MLA any day of the week. ( )

A really good, solid guide to style and formatting for anyone who has to write formal papers. ( )

Turabian remains an indispensable guide for student researchers, particularly in the humanities and social sciences. . . . Writers and researchers, beginning or seasoned, thus owe a great debt to the publishers who are committed to keeping style guides current amid continuous evolution of the act—and art—of research.
