"book" style for chicago bibliographies look like:

a. author. _title_. place: pub, date.
b. author. _title_. seriesname series. Place: Pub, Date.
c. author. _title_. seriesname series, edited by serieseditor. Place: Pub,
Date.

for an unseriesed book, a book in an unedited series, and a book in an
edited series, respectively.

currently, the relevant portions of my style (using "#" for option-space)
for "book" is

Author. _Title_. |Series Title#series|,#edited#by#Series Editor.#|City:
Publisher, Year.

this format, however, does not put a ".#" when there is a series title, but
no series editor, for the obvious reasons.  the problem is that the ".#"
between series editor and city is dependent on the series editor, so series
and city run together.

the more fundamental problem, however, is that the ".#" following Series
Editor is dependant not only on series editor, but also on the series
title! and there does not seem to be any easy way to do this.

any suggestions?

on a related note: it is really annoying that the force-bind character is
the invisible "option-space"!  the only way to make sure its there is to
retype it!
