6.1 Style Guides (misc.writing Recommended Reading List)

"The Chicago Manual of Style." 14th ed. Chicago: University of
Chicago Press, 1993. ISBN 0-226-10389-7, hardcover, 921 pp.,
$40.00.

One of the most comprehensive style guides available. With the
14th edition, the editors at the University of Chicago press
got down off their high horse. Most sections have been
rewritten and are much clearer than in previous editions. Many
sections have been expanded, especially the sections on
documentation (citing references): there are now two separate
chapters, one for the author-date method, and another for the
notes and bibliography method. As always, "Chicago" has
several excellent primers on manuscript preparation, editing,
and printing.
