The Chicago Manual of Style

The 14th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style has been superseded by the 17th edition.

The first edition of the Manual of Style was published in 1906. Now The Chicago Manual of Style is the essential reference for authors, editors, proofreaders, indexers, copywriters, designers and publishers in any field.

This 14th edition of the Manual (1993) addressed more systematically the role of computers in writing, editing, and publishing. Expanded to 936 pages, it reflected significant changes in style, usage, and technology, and contained new and more extensive editing examples based on requests from editors, authors, indexers, and teachers of publishing courses. Sales of the 14th edition reached nearly half a million copies, bringing the grand total of all Manual of Style sales to well over one million.
