Every thing you'd like to know about writing is in it!
This classic book covers every area that a writer could be interested in--punctuation, grammar, usage, the publishing process, copyright, etc.The main reason I bought this book was to seek guidance on punctuation, and I am happy with the comprehensive instructions provided by the manual.

Unexpectedly easy buy for me
It's the correct book for sure, and I'm really glad I could find this so easily on Amazon. But though the book as a whole was in God shape, the cover showed signs of folding that I couldn't quite fathom. Nonetheless, a great buy.

Vale mais que a pena
A edição veio correta para mim, 2017.O manual é generalista, então se aplica a toda publicação em escrito. Ele não é um livro focado em um tema só, como os outros materiais da The University of Chicago Press que são exclusivamente para edição/revisão, jornalismo, artigos acadêmicos ou literatura.A qualidade do material é excelente, inclusive a guarda/orelha (que cobre a capa dura).200 páginas falando sobre o processo de publicação de um livro ou artigo ou obra em geral, com notas essenciais para revisores e editores, incluindo processos digitais de publicação. 500 páginas falando sobre estilo e gramática, inclusive questões de como lidar com números ou com línguas estrangeiras. 230 páginas sobre referências. E um apêndice extra para procurar termos e navegar pelo livro.O manual nomeia os diferentes tipos de regras usadas em inglês, até mesmo as incomuns, e possui uma seção exclusiva para o uso dos termos, quase como um dicionário. A linguagem vai direto ao ponto, esperado para um material de referência.Vale muito mais do que eu esperava pelo valor. Se você trabalha com literatura, edição, revisão, tradução, documentação, jornalismo ou qualquer outra área envolvendo inglês, indispensável.Fica uma dica: combine ele com o "Cambridge Dictionary of American English for Speakers of Portuguese", veja o "Writing that works" para melhorar sua linguagem profissional e faça todo o "Advanced Grammar in Use" (ou toda a série Grammar in Use, a depender do seu nível de inglês).

Invaluable tool!
I purchased this product for my university studies. No writer or editor should be without it. While an online subscription is available, I prefer having a paper copy in my hands. I've already got colorful flags on many pages. Great reference book.

Essential support for any writer
I have been an avid user of the Chicago Manuals of Style for at least 20 years and I find that I consult it at least once per month. Recently I decided to retire my old and now rather worn copy of the 15th edition and get the new 17th edition. The decision was also strengthened by the fact that when consulting the on-line edition of the Chicago Manuals of Style I found that much of the advice and rules had changed since the 15th edition. The new edition is much better adapted to the times we live in now with electronic publishing and references more often being in electronic repositories than in printed works. I am very pleased with the new edition and I am confident that it will be at my side in many years to come. It gives you a helping hand when you need it most and even if it is a work of reference it can equally well be read from beginning to end. Read in this way you probably will profit the most due to the very good advice and ideas you will get from this text.
