Are you looking for a grammar book, usabge book, or a style book? The
Chicago Manual is a style guide (e.g., should president be capitalized in a particular circumstance), not a grammar or usage book.
Garner's Modern American Usage is considered
the authority on usage in the United States.
One of the grammar books I like is C. Edward Good's
Whose Grammar Book Is This Anyway.
