Rent it for a whole semester
There's no need to pick a rental period. Any book is rented for 130 days. Bonus: You also have a week grace period, for your end-of-semester convenience.
Keeping a rented book
If you fall in love with your rented book and decide you want to keep it, just contact its seller and arrange a purchase. Then you and your book may live happily ever after.
FREE, easy rental returns
At the end of your rental period, your return shipping is FREE. It's also as easy as printing a label and dropping your book at any handy UPS location.
Check for supplements
A rental book may be a used copy, with or without supplemental items. Contact the rental's seller before ordering if its description about supplements is unclear and a certain supplement is a must-have.
Contiguous U.S. states only

Use it (nicely) but don't lose it
While you are renting a book, normal wear and tear is A-OK. After all, you have to use it to score excellent grades, right? Just make sure it's not lost or damaged.
Separate cart for rentals
Rentals are separated in your cart from items you may want to purchase. You'll check out separately, but it's fast and easy—just a couple extra clicks is all it takes to save with rental books.

Now the editors of "The Chicago Manual of Style" have revised Turabian's work to bring the details of style into conformity with the 14th edition of "The Chicago Manual". This edition of Turabian also reflects the way students work today, taking into account the role of personal computers in the preparation and presentation of their papers. The familiar organization of this popular book remains largely unchanged. Chapter one describes the parts of a long formal paper. Chapters two-five introduce the mechanics of writing style, from abbreviations to quotations. Chapters six and seven show how to prepare and refer to tables and illustrations. The section on documentation, chapters eight-twelve, describes two of the most commonly used systems of citation; these chapters provide many examples including guidance on how to cite electronic documents. Chapter 13, on manuscript preparation, shows how to take advantage of word processing software to present the elements of a paper clearly and effectively. Chapter 14 offers more than 24 sample pages illustrating ways of formatting some of the complex features found in many research papers.Hide
