4 stars (Wonderful Edition) - Every year I have been buying these Editions for my son. He loves them and has the whole collection. I love to see him and his friends picking up an edition and even just reading a few........ 5 stars (!*!*!FACTS!*!*!) - The book has the coolest facts. Such as: There is a brige that is 1289feet in the air. Holy Moley. 5 stars (Everything you ever wanted (and sometimes didn't want) to know) - For people that love trivia and facts, this book is for you. I can spend hours just going through and looking at all the stuff. The biggest cherry pie ever, the biggest tart ever, the tallest man, the heaviest babies, the longest hair, the fastest two-legged race, the biggest tumor, on and on, all kinds of fascinating stuff. Well worth getting for anyone who likes this type of stuff. ...

5 stars (Always remember...) - The reader is another person. Regardless of the rules, talk to that person! Lay it out in human terms... Than another person can relate to. There is no excuse for bad writing. - Clint Arthur, author of "Free Your Love Now" 4 stars (Embrace the Power that is Turabian!) - I used this for several years as an undergrad, and now that I'm being sucked into APA-heck, I look back on it fondly. It covered everything I ever needed to know to write a paper. Some reviewers have complained that it is not sufficiently modern, that it does not provide a citation style for web pages, etc. This is incorrect. Section 8.141, on page 151, shows us how to do this. (Some ellision from the demonstrated form will probably be necessary, but it works.) You didn't invent the internet, kids. It's been around for a few years, and the grown-ups really do know about it. Turabian, Grossman, and Bennett did make several assumptions about the reader of their book. They assumed he or she is capable of using a table of contents, and of reading rather large chunks of text and assimilating or marking the relevant portions. If one lacks the intellectual fortitude to do that, one should probably skip this manual and ask their instructor if they can use the "Golden Books" or "DC Comics" manual of style. 5 stars (Accentuate the positive) - Have you ever noticed that more people read the good reviews more than the bad ones? This book is appropriate for what it is meant for. If you know Turabian died prior to a new edition of the book, then maybe you should be using your PC to search for electronic resources (using Turabian font in the search engine)..... and not wasting time being negative... ...
