This, I understand, is the top style guide for publishing in the United States, so naturally, if you're editing for the American market, you need to have it. It turns out to be very sensible, with many explanations, and it is well laid out, with many examples and illustrations. It is also quite comprehensive, and seems to have everything covered. This makes it useful for anybody who has anything to write, as well as editors, proofreaders and publishers.
