Chicago Manual of Style
[w] www.chicagomanualofstyle.org
What would become The Chicago Manual of Style began in the 1890s as a single
sheet of typographic fundamentals, prepared by a proofreader at the University
of Chicago Press as a guide for the University community. That sheet grew into
a pamphlet, and the pamphlet grew into a book—the first edition of the
Manual of Style, published in 1906. Nearly a century later the Manual is in use
in homes and offices around the world.
World Press Institute
