I follow the #AMAManualOfStyle for documents I edit these days, but I have years of experience with using the #ChicagoManualOfStyle, so it is one of my favorite style guides. The mug's artwork shows the use of old-fashioned proofreaders' marks (see http://bit.ly/3cU23kJ).

I want to tell my students to use Chicago style, but I also want them to never discover this sentence on the chicagomanualofstyle website: "Note that a place of publication is no longer required in book citations." What to do?

#CMOS18: In college, I got mostly A's.
