About Citing Books
For each type of source in this guide, the general form and specific examples will be provided for the Notes-Bibliography style options of Turabian.
This information and several of the examples were drawn from A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations (9th Edition). Numbers in parentheses refer to specific pages in the manual.
For further information, please ask your instructor or refer to the Turabian manual.
Secondary Sources
Good practice in research is to only use quotations from sources that you have viewed in the original form so that you can verify their accuracy. However, when the original source is unavailable (i.e. unpublished manuscript), researchers may need to include the quotation as it is found in a secondary source. This is done by using the terms "quoted in" and then listing the secondary source information in the citation (17.9.3).
