Janice Gelb noted: <<[MS Manual of Style] You can get reasonably
priced used copies through ABE
http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&tn=microsoft+manual+of+style&x=0&y=0
Also, some are for sale on half.com for as low as $1!>>

And worth it at half the price (maybe you can haggle and get them to
pay you to take it off their hands) if you need to raise your monitor
to correct viewing level. Old phonebooks probably work better, though.

My take: If you're going to just make it up as you go, you can do it
yourself and have fun doing so instead of wasting bookshelf space on
MMOS. You could also just subscribe to Wired. Occasionally they're
quite entertaining.
