I had the pleasure of having Deborah as my teacher for Cite Checking and this book was an incredible resource to have while studying the bluebook. The examples were helpful as they allowed me to learn my own common mistakes, so that I could be more aware of them in the future. As well as using those examples and the answer keys when handling more difficult cites. To condense the bluebook into a 170+ guide makes Cite Checking feel much more approachable, especially as the book is written in a manner that makes it feel like you simply are not reading rule after rule, as you may if you were to read the Blue Book straight through.
