A Pocket Style Manual

This is a really, really good little manual, especially concerning its size. I've read a lot of short ones that are filled with too much prose to make them useful, or that don't have the examples or specifics I need. There's only been one thing so far, a specific example of a rule, that I looked up and couldn't find, and I wasn't able to find it anywhere online, either. Only the good ol' Chicago Manual of Style helped me out and since I have a hard copy of that, too, I'm good to go. (I like having hardcopies because sometimes my Internet is just too slow.) Highly recommended.

This is, hands down, the best go-to guide for the three most common writing styles (APA, MLA, and Chicago) I have ever come across. This "Pocket Style" is much better than Hacker's other, larger and more detailed manuals as it gets straight to the heart of things. There are links to her website provided in each section if one wishes to have more details.

I always ensure to have this manual near me when writing essays as the guides for how cite different items in the various styles is one of the most helpful things to have around.

It has the utility of an easy size and format - it lays open on a desk due to the spiral binding. A handy little help for grammar and citations.

An excellent quick reference, handily wirebound, for style and citations according to MLA, APA, and Chicago.

Very concise and handy. Well organized.

Pocket style in possibly name alone, this 304 page manual is an invaluable resource though I suppose it might fit in a large pocket.

Another very handy pocket guide to own for quick grammar and research reference.
