Re: Reference Books YOU use the most

Peggy,

Here are 4 nominations for your  list of 10 essential:

1)  Chicago Manual of Style, either 14th or  15th edition 
(I have/own  the 14th) (About $55.00, retail)

2)  The Gregg Reference Manual,  either 9th or 10th edition 
(I  have/own the 9th) (About $40.00, retail)

3) Technical Editing, The  Practical Guide for Editors and Writers, 
by  Judith A. Tarutz, Perseus Books, Cambridge,  Mass
(I have/own the  1992 version,  Not sure if there is a more recent edition)

4)   US Government Printing Office Style Guide.   
BTW, if you  want to take the time you can download it for free.   
Otherwise,  there is a charge for  it.

Plus,  you can always go back and get the updates when they are announced.

I  know that there are others, but these have helped me when I have worked 
with  contracting firms on contracts with the Federal Government, over the past 
112-15  years

Glad to participate in your project.

Hope these contribute  to your list.

Sincerely,

Harry
