Product Description

 Book Order Review March 9, 2010
Patricia Robinson (Canada)
The book came promptly and was exactly what I had ordered at a cheaper price than I had seen in book stores.
Satisfaction! March 8, 2010
Big John (Australia)
We are very happy with this purchase. The order process was simple, postage was relatively prompt, price was excellent, and follow up was beyond reproach.
Amazon, Amazon, Amazon, Oi! Oi! Oi!

 APA Manual March 7, 2010
Laurel Lee (South Bay, CA)
This is the 6th ed of the APA manual. It is in it's third printing. Make sure you get the 2nd or 3rd printing as the first printing of the APA manual contains errors. If you are in a stats class you can't afford to make any errors on your research papers.
It's just another APA book March 4, 2010

Most of my college writing requires me to follow specific rules of formatting, style, citation, and such. Just when I had started to master the 5th edition APA people decide to throw another one of their books to tweak how things are done. I hate APA, but I had to buy the book so I did... This was one of the HAD to buy purchases, not the WANT to... Do you like my review?

Got this for a graduate class. My professor is visually impaired and is still waiting on the audio version at a cheap or free price. We have to write in APA format but haven't used it yet. Will have to later in the semester for a 10-page paper.
