It ain't Chicago, folks -- but it's very, very good and the price is right. If you use it to prep a manuscript for submission, nobody will fault you unless, of course, the aggrieved party specified something else.

I don't refer to Words into Type often anymore, but it has entries on some usage and grammar questions that the Chicago Manual doesn't cover.
