How do you use "as"?
"But I have been assured from various quarters that the book as written was useful and continues to be useful."
Here, as written, if "written" is a participle," as "just be used to emphasize the subordinate structure, actually, it could be omitted, is it right?

As is used with a preposition, such as, "As in the 1960's, the population explosion will cause some problems."
We can use as in certain expressions, such as "as you know", "as you requested", "as we agreed".
We also use as…..as to give comparisons. For example, "He's as clever as his sister."
As is followed by a subject and verb. For example, "She's a good student, as her brother was before her."

But, did I really bump up the question?

It's not very elegant from you to bump up your question. Just imagine that everybody did the same.
