The Chicago Manual Of Style

For years, I have wanted to buy myself a copy of The Chicago Manual of Style, but the high cost has been rather off-putting. My younger brother (I like to call him my little brother, but he's now a foot taller, so "little" doesn't quite fit anymore) surprised me with a copy this Christmas.

If you do any writing, I do have to admit that this book is a fantastic resource. It delves into the current rules on punctuation, grammar, and even publishing. While it may seem rather dull, I found myself actually enjoying sitting down and reading through the book when time allows. I can actually see myself working through this book from cover to cover just to have an idea on what has changed since I had grammar drilled into me by my shorthand teacher. (I still thank her to this day for all she taught us!)
