I have it. It is pretty good. It is certainly heavy enough to cause a headache on recalcitrant, Philistinic neophyte management types. I also have the Australian Style Manual. Its pretty good too. But not as heavy. Both are fine as side-effect free insomnia cures too.

Hello, I was wondering if you could comment on the usefulness of the Chicago Manual for Style for Australian conditions. I have done some tech writing for software companies in my role of Support Engineer, and looking to do further work as a technical writer. A related question would be "What books do you consider ESSENTIAL in the tech writer's personal library?".
