Book Description:
The "Publication Manual" is the style manual of choice for writers, editors, students, and educators. Although it is specifically designed to help writers in the behavioral sciences and social sciences, anyone who writes non-fiction prose can benefit from its guidance. The newly-revised Sixth Edition has not only been rewritten. It has also been thoroughly rethought and reorganized, making it the most user-friendly "Publication Manual" the APA has ever produced. You will be able to find answers to your questions faster than ever before. When you need advice on how to present information, including text, data, and graphics, for publication in any type of format - such as college and university papers, professional journals, presentations for colleagues, and online publication - you will find the advice you're looking for in the "Publication Manual". When you purchase the Publication Manual, you are purchasing more than a book. You are also gaining access to an extensive Web site totally devoted to your writing concerns. The site is updated regularly, so the latest information will be always at your fingertips. The Sixth Edition proffers the latest thinking on providing reference formats for new technologies and online sources, essential to today's research process.The extent and severity of the errors in the sixth edition of the Publication Manual have been greatly exaggerated. The first printing of the manual is correct, accurate, and fully functional in all areas except for 4 sample papers which have been corrected and are posted on the web for download.

APA Manual,
This review is from: (Spiral) Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (Spiral-bound)
The APA Manual was supposed to be easier to use for anyone who had to write in APA- it ISN'T. In fact it is harder to use because it doesn't identify the changes from the previous edition. The only good thing is that I bought it coil-bound so it's easier to use, just open it to the page. I bought it because I have to, not because I wanted to.

APA Manual flawed 1st printing -- how to get the corrected 2nd printing??,
By wrcr (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (Paperback)
What has happened to the reviews of the APA 6th edition that warned buyers that they would receive the flawed July 2009 printing if they shopped on Amazon? The consensus was that to get the 2nd printing (with errors corrected), you would need to buy direct from APA. I did just that and last week received the flawed 1st printing from APA themselves. The blurb on this site says that the number of errors has been exaggerated and that they fill 4 pages which can be downloaded from the APA site. Check the APA site and you'll see that the errors fill 8 tightly-spaced pages. Yet, APA continues to sell the faulty edition. In response to my complaint, they've offered to replace the two flawed copies they sent but first I must pay the costs of mailing the books back to them . . .

This is an excellent manual for writing and formatting research papers. Great index, easy to read and follow. Great for post-secondary students.
