Recent theoretical investigations of two-body hadronic B decays have provided justification for the use of the factorization ansatz to evaluate the B decay matrix elements. Motivated by this, we present simplified formulae for a wide range of B decays into the lowest mass pseudoscalar and vector mesons. These formulae, valid in the heavy quark limit, involve a reduced set of soft QCD parameters and, although resulting in some loss of accuracy, should still provide an adequate and transparent tool with which to confront data for some time to come. Finally, we confront these formulae with data on 19 channels.
