Chicago Manual Of Style Guidelines: Quickstudy Laminated Guide

I feel like I've gone to heaven! Great reference!

Another great aid for College admissions!

This guide )cheat sheet)is a great addition to my style manual.

Pros: As you probably know, the actual book of the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) is HUGE (over 1,000 pages). So, it's not always easy to find information you need and it's always hard to find it quickly. This 6 page (3 pages double-sided) "cheatsheet" allows us to locate essential information quickly. Cons: My complaint is that about one page worth of space is "wasted" on information that is not specific to the CMOS. The section on "Tricky Words" explains common word usage errors (e.g., affect vs. effect). I'm sure it could be helpful for some people, but it's not specific to the CMOS. I think a half of a page for this kind of information is a waste in a 6 page reference guide. There's another section "An Introduction to Grammar," where the author explains different types of nouns (e.g., count noun vs. mass noun). 1/3 of a page "wasted" in my opinion.

Love this little study guide! It summarizes all the key points of the Chicago Manual into a nifty, durable to-go guide. I keep mine right at my desk. It's so much easier to reference than to lug out the huge 4th edition textbook! It includes all the main points of questions: capitalization, tricky words, and yes, those dreaded commas. I always feel prepared with this guide by my side!

As a professional writer, proofreader, and copy editor, The Chicago Manuel of Study Guidelines (Quick Study) is a tri-fold glossy with doubled sided detailed information and is the first step in reviewing any CMOS questions. It is a necessary tool of the trade to ensure the nuanced style is accurate as I review academic and scholarly manuscripts, capstones, and other extended pieces of work. This style manual should be in every home office. I highly recommend

Helped her be able to write in this style, without confusion and carrying a huge book.

Needed Information for a notebook. I like quick overview.

I didn't read the description properly so did think it was a poster but its even better than that! It's a small laminated guide that has a punch hole at the top (which I use to hang it on my pin board) and has several sides. The guide is concise and extremely helpful to grab at a moments notice. I didn't really want to sit at my desk with a book or an online guide, I wanted to be able to have it to hand. It handily fits in my macbook case for when I want to write out and about at a coffee shop for example. I would say, reading a full on guide like a book is the best thing but then to have this as a reference is amazing

A must have! This condensed format makes navigating the CMOS much quicker and simpler.

とてもコンサイスな参考文献です。文法とは品詞分解ではなく読み手や読む人に分かりやすく書くのだとお教えてくれます。

Easy to read, and hang above my computer. Exactly as described

A great addition to the Chicago Style Guide-
