The Associated Press Stylebook (AP Stylebook) and The Chicago Manual of Style are two very different guides for two very different groups of people who make their living with the written word.

The Chicago Manual of Style is by far the larger reference work, with over 950 pages.
The AP Stylebook has just 330 pages.

The information contained in each has a small crossover factor; but, in general, each is a specialized reference work for its intended profession.

The Chicago Manual of Style is the guide for authors, editors, and publishers of books, periodicals, and journals.
The AP Stylebook is the prime reference for those in the news and public relations fields.
