Greetings again,

As a quick summary of the "manual" versus "guide" issue, the hands-down
winner
was "guide." Based on the responses I received, writers prefer it, readers
perceive it more favorably, and as one person pointed out, a manual does
not necessarily guide
anyway.

Thanks to all who responded,
Miark
