    This is a general reference guide on how to write for historical research. As such, if you are not a confident writer or need some guidelines on how to construct an argument in a paper, do not hesitate to get a copy for your library. On the other hand, if you have a solid background in writing and know how to read and analyze a historical text, this may not be as much use to you.

    This should be required reading for all humanities undergraduates. MLA take note: this is how a manual for writers of research papers should be presented. It is organized, portable, a clear guide to the process of collecting information, constructing and supporting a thesis, and navigating the complex sea of citations.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2011

    If you need this book, it is fabulous. Everything is clearly stated and explained. It provides a very solid framework for successful writing in History. However, if you are a practiced writer of History papers, this guide will be of little use to you (but then you wouldn't be ordering it if you did not have to).

    5.0 out of 5 stars It's a book
    Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    It has these white things in it that are called pages. On said pages are little black symbols, some refer to these as "letters". When you look at the symbols for long enough and follow them in succession from 1 to the next and the next and so on til you come to the last one, they tend to form words. Sometimes even sentences. And if you REALLY push yourself, give it 125% you can make a paragraph or two.

    It's a book. It doesn't dance, it doesn't sing, and it doesn't do laundry.

    A excellent little source book for writing formatting and practice. I found it easier to use this book compared with the internet. If you want to learn how to work with Chicago style formatting I recommend this little book.

    Also called 'THE RAMPOLLA'. If you're in first year and you don't have this but you plan on taking more than one history class.... JUST BUY IT. It will save you a lot of time looking for Chicago style references. This is well organized and you'll find many graduate students with well worn copies.
