You need The Bluebook? Which one? There is the Wisconsin Blue Book, the Kelly Blue Book for used cards and of course, The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation, consulted by law students, attorneys and other professionals for more than eighty years. With the ongoing transformation in law book publishing, The Bluebook serves as an important resource for documenting legal citation formats as well as a style manual. The eighteenth edition, published in 2005, includes a layout designed for easier access to complex information. For $25.00 you can purchase an individual subscription to an online version of The Bluebook, with powerful search features, the ability to bookmark rules, share group notes, and receive automatic updates from the editors. But wait, there\'s more!! The nineteenth edition of The Bluebook is scheduled to be published in 2010. Now is your chance to answer a survey and share your ideas with the editors for future enhancements. Surveys must be received by June 30, 2008. Comments and questions are also welcome through e-mail to suggestions@legalbluebook.com.
