Absolutely the best style guide out there -- short, precise and jargon-free. Did I say short?!I look questions up in 23 seconds and go on. Perfect.Sure, it's out of print. Just means it's cheaper. I buy several at a time to give to our new staff members -- they use it daily.If you think you need a longer reference, you are over-thinking the problem.
