[Journalists] AP Stylebook

I remember that when I was in J school many years ago, we had to read the
entire AP Style book and then take exams over what we learned or memorized!!
At that time, the book was on cassette tapes from the former Recording for
the Blind, now Learning Ally.
The online version is so much easier,and Sarah, there are subscription rates
for students.
I don't have a bookshare subscription, but perhaps books gotten from that
organization are also searchable?

Good luck.

Hello:

 One option is to check bookshare for the AP stylebook. When I was
going through journalism school, I was able to find the book on there.
I'm not sure if the 2018 version is on there, but you could probably
get by with 2016 or 2017 if they are. Another option is to pay for the
online AP stylebook online subscription and search the website for
terms. This was much faster for me. That website is pretty accessible.

 Good luck!!
