Forum:SH Archive/Tense in relation to book articles

Exactly what is the tense that is to be used in real-world book articles? I've been under the impression everything regarding IU is past tense per the manual of style.

Publisher's summaries are what ever the publisher said, obviously, but what about the Plot summary? I've noticed there isn't much consistency there. Some book articles' plot summaries are written in past tense, while others are written in present tense. Korsa3 04:52, June 15, 2011 (UTC)
