Turabian: The Easy Way! [Updated for 8th Edition]
The intent of this handbook is simply to supplement the official Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations (7th edition) by Kate L. Turabian. It is provided as a condensed version of the actual manual. It is not intended to supersede the manual, rather reduce its complexity. This explains the title: Turabian: The Easy Way! The handbook is divided into five parts. Part one focuses on the mechanics of Turabian style writing; part two emphasizes planning, drafting, and revising a research document; part three describes punctuation and writing style; part four explains source citations; and part five provides a sample paper.

Exactly what I needed to get up and running with my first paper in this style of writing.

Helpful quick reference for the Turabian format. The book print and layout didn't seem like a normal professional book. It didn't have the same type of margins I am used to and the fonts seemed different to me. However, over all a great reference book.

Not easy to use at all. The full manual is much easier.
