  <default_description> The revised edition of the Bible of the newspaper industry. &lt;P&gt; More people write for The Associated Press than for any newspaper in the  world, and writers--nearly two million of them--have bought more copies of  &lt;i&gt;The AP Stylebook&lt;/i&gt; than of any other journalism reference. It provides  facts and references for reporters, and defines usage, spelling, and  grammar for editors. There are separate sections for journalists specializing in sports and business, and complete guidelines  for how to write photo captions, file copy over the wire, proofread text,  handle copyrights, and avoid libel. This edition of &lt;i&gt;The AP Stylebook&lt;/i&gt;  keeps pace with world events, common usage, and AP procedures.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[At this point in my career-life, I pretty much have this book memorized.  It used to be a lifesaver, now it's an old friend.  My only qualm with it is whatever I'm looking for that it doesn't have, and its preference for <em>Web site</em> (two words, cap W).  I prefer <em>website</em>.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a poor reference book for journalists. Many words, phrases and terms simply don't exist in this book that are used in stories every day. It also leaves you guessing where to find a usage instructions for simple terms (e.g. seconds, length, etc.), greatly extending the length of time it takes...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12391603">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This might just be my favorite book. It's concise; you can pick it up and put it down; it's full of surprising and useful information; it's gravely underrated as a linear read; it helps you right wrongs; and it has been close to my side (updated editions notwithstanding) since September 2000.]]></body>
