That's odd. I haven't done a large survey, but every recent item that 
I've looked at has had the code.

schema:author <http://schema.org/author> 	Robert W. Wallace
schema:reviewBody <http://schema.org/reviewBody> 	This book is cause for 
celebration. Notwithstanding the complexity of his many source

It's possible that earlier data wasn't coded sufficiently to pick up the

Attributes 	
schema:description <http://schema.org/description> 	William Fitzgerald, 
How to Read a Latin Poem: If You Can’t Read Latin Yet. Oxford; New York: 
Oxford University Press, 2013. Pp. ix, 278. ISBN 9780199657865. $35.00.
