I've been an online member of CMOS for a few years now and never even look at
my hardback any more. The 16th edition is out and I won't be buying it. It's
too easy to search for answers on the site.
I happen to own "The Subversive Copy Editor," but after a little looking on the
site, couldn't find the review.
