Description

Section 11.3 Punctuation says:

Use correct punctuation. A hard copy of The Chicago Manual of Style or The Gregg Reference Manual may be of some help.

The Reference section includes a 404 (twice):

[GRM]
Frequently Asked Questions, The Gregg Reference Manual Instructor Site, Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, 2000. This FAQ is online at http://www.glencoe.com/ps/grm/faqs.

So I don't know exactly what was shown at "The Gregg Reference Manual Instructor Site".

In any case, my question is: are these two recommendations still good ones? (I do not have any copy of such books myself)
