➡ Do you know what...

[Kiki]

I have an encyclopedia set, a row of dictionaries—both in english and in other languages—nearly a full shelf of chicken books, some old biology textbooks, and a decent collection of books on art history and technique. Oh, and 10--15 years worth of horse magazines... though those don't really count. That's just on the nearest bookshelf. (I have 10+.) So, yes.
I would have far more if I wasn't broke.

As for the original question, I firmly believe that Chicago is the best style guide. I actually have my copy right here, by the computer. It's the latest edition and I love it very much.

Picture of the book please.

Picture of the book please.

Let me clean off my desk first.

I don’t think anybody has a physical copy of this except maybe the library.

I had to get my own because the library was still using the 15th edition.

Is that old!?

Also attached is an image of most of my dictionary collection, for Kdogg. I'm a simple woman. If I see a dictionary on a free pile, I take it.
The shelf the Manual is on is my frequently-referenced section. Er, mostly. A great deal of misfiled papers and borrowed books have ended up there as well.

It's two editions behind current.

Love the dog book

and the elevator manual is surprisingly colorful!! It’s a pretty cover!!

And why do you have a children’s dictionary!?

Also, those shelves and the speaker are surprisingly modern. Surprised you have such modern tech lol

It's two editions behind current.

that doesn’t sound that old at first but I Googled it and it said they update it every 7-10 years? So it could potentially be 20 years old? In which case, that’s pretty damn old haha

Like I said, if I see it on a free table, I get it. I don't discriminate. All dictionaries are good. Some people collect lost dogs. I collect lost dictionaries.

I forget where I got the bookshelf. The speakers got replaced very recently after the last set broke. (They were large, yellow, and very 90's.)
