5Beware--there is now a new edition of this title  Jul 02, 2009
As of June 8, 2009, there is a newer edition of this book, so be sure to purchase the newest (2009 as of now) edition, especially for a changing field like journalistic style in writing.

By the way, the AP web site "Ask the Editor" (FAQs) is an excellent source of information on items not covered in the book (you can search directly on their page in your browser, for items you are wondering about), just go to apstylebook (dot) com and look at the right-hand column. You can click on View All Questions at the bottom of that column, then search on the resulting page.

They also have an online subscription version of the material in the book for $25/year that is updated continually and is fully searchable (though I personally still like to have the book in my hands and on my desk, if I was a full-time journalist or copy/proof editor I'd likely get the online version as well, just for the searching capability).

5Associated Press Stylebook: a must for any writer  Jun 01, 2009
Several professional writers for Demand Studios recommended this as a must for all writers. The second "must have" is Strunk. Excellent resource material.

5Reference Guide  May 18, 2009
Don't let the name fool you too much. Yes, this is the acclaimed AP style book, but you don't use AP style necessarily the same way as MLA or APA, which is often a confusing ordeal I have to sort out when I tutor.

Preferred spellings, abbreviations, a slice of grammar here and there- it's all there at your journalistic disposal.

5The Associated Press Stylebook  May 07, 2009
The Associated Press Stylebook and Briefing on Media Law
This book is (or should be) the daily "Bible" for all journalists. Sadly, we hear and read so much garbled English from journalists. For example, the ubiquitous "like" is being used inappropriately by New York Times. The AP Stylebook should be one of the well-thumbed reference books at the desk of every journalist and that of other writers as well.

4AP stylebook review  Apr 12, 2009
The only reason I purchased the stylebook was for my journalism class but little did I know how much it would come in handy. I purchased it in "brand-new condition" and received it as so except with a small tear on the outside bind of the book. Other than that, it didn't take long and was in good condition.
