Calling all writers, copywriters, poets, business writers, newpaper columnists, and more. The University of Chicago Press continues to offer one free e-book every month, and while most of these are academically challenging, this month’s free selection is excellent. The September 2010 free e-book selection is The Chicago Manual of Style.
“The Chicago Manual of Style began life modestly as a single page of typographic fundamentals drawn up by a University of Chicago Press proofreader in the 1890s. The guidelines grew in length and popularity and were first published in book form in 1906. Revised fifteen times since, The Chicago Manual of Style has evolved to become the definitive reference work for writers, editors, proofreaders, indexers, copywriters, designers, and publishers. The new sixteenth edition is the first edition that we are publishing simultaneously in print and online; it seems appropriate to bend an arc back to the very first edition and give it a new, virtual life in electronic form.”
