I was looking for another grammar book. I've been using the
Chicago Manual as a style guide for many years, and it's very helpful in that regard.
It's good to read that you recommend
Garner's Modern American Usage because I just ordered that earlier today. I'll check out the other book you mentioned too. Thanks!
