A review by helena_blythe
The Chicago Guide to Grammar, Usage, and Punctuation by Bryan A. Garner

5.0

This reference is one of the most helpful I've ever worked with. I believe it will be more useful to people engaged in writing and editing outside of academia than the Chicago Manual of Style--and would still be of use to those inside. It's much less cumbersome than the CMoS, and much easier to navigate.
