Manual of Style

Originally published as A Manual of Style, the first edition of the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) heralded a new age of writing and citation standards in the US publishing industry and immediately grew into what is now the most-used style guide in the United States. The Chicago Manual of Style forms the basis for numerous field-specific style guides, including Turabian, the American Anthropological Association, and our very own Faithlife Marketing Style Guide. With the first edition in your library, you’ll see the philological and conventional developments of American English since CMOS’ publication in 1906, and compare its rules against the style your writing depends on.
