Does RIP v2 support manual summarization?
Cisco Press says that it does and Sybex says that it does not.

Yes, it does. Just as with EIGRP, you would use the no auto-summary command to make sure that it doesn't auto-summarize since RIP by default is a classful routing protocol.
You would then issue this "ip summary-address rip ip_address" on the interface where you want the summary address to reside.
If you're using Packet Tracer, you will not see that command for RIP. Only for EIGRP. If you're GNS3 or are on an actual router, you will see the command for RIP as well.
