Here, however, quotes are used *instead of* italics to represent the book title itself, so, i.e. in print, they wouldn't be present at all. The below is a bibliographical reference (of sorts) so the comma should merely separate the book title from the publisher. Unfortunately, the finer details of CMOS are behind a paywall so I can't confirm that categorically. Chances are, I might be wrong, though.
