Mrs. Chili, unfortunately, it doesn’t startle me about this library. It’s small, and it’s missing many books I consider essentials, including some classics. I’m glad you’re enjoying the increasing frequency of my posts! :) According to the research my husband did on my behalf, the Chicago Manual is less expensive online than at our local B&N. I’m really surprised you don’t have a Chicago Manual. For some reason I was sure you would.

Shouldn’t the library have a current copy of EVERYTHING?! Apparently, no one checks these things out anymore.

My personal bookshelves are stuffed with style guides, though I DON’T have the Chicago Manual. I do, however, have a Barnes and Nobel gift card burning a hole in my purse.

You’ve been posting a lot lately – I LOVE it!!!
