RE: Question about book not keeping to Writing dept. style guide

["Barbara Philbrick" <caslon -at- alltel -dot- net>]

As to the basic question ... Yes, I think someone needs to go back and fix
it to match the other books.

On the "the contractor should fix it" suggestion ... I think it's a good
idea to ask, regardless of what the contracts state. As a contractor myself,
I would want the opportunity to fix it if I did not follow the style guides
correctly. Contract or no contract, I would want to leave positive
impression with my client.

If I didn't get a copy of the style guide, I might have some extra hours on
the project to ease the burden on your department (I usually do "not to
exceed" quotes, and often have extra hours left over).

Regards,

Barb
