This is, hands down, the best go-to guide for the three most common writing styles (APA, MLA, and Chicago) I have ever come across. This "Pocket Style" is much better than Hacker's other, larger and more detailed manuals as it gets straight to the heart of things. There are links to her website provided in each section if one wishes to have more details.

I always ensure to have this manual near me when writing essays as the guides for how cite different items in the various styles is one of the most helpful things to have around. ( )

Very concise and handy. Well organized. ( )
