Chicago 18th edition notes and bibliography

Footnotes and bibliography for the Chicago Manual of Style 18th edition

About bibliographies

Bibliographies are usually arranged alphabetically arranged by the last names of the authors, or if no author, then by title.  Include all sources (13.66). Titles by the same author are normally listed alphabetically (13.70).

In the 18th ed, Chicago no longer recommends using the 3-em dash in bibliographies.  Instead, repeat the author's name (13.72).
