For those of you who have purchased the new APA manual 6th edition, hope you have heard about all of the mistakes in it. Had to purchase it because I needed for graduate studies. This book is obsolete now as the new edition is out. Contact APA and the should send you corrections. You can have your copy sent there and they'll send a new one w/o charge.
I had to use this book for my MBA papers which required the APA format. For example, how would I reference a blog or podcast. Although I hate the format, this book gives me the much needed information. It helped me with many of the format and style, but it does lacks to cover some of the modern usages. The publication has to cover those.The book isn't a true guide if you are looking for help. You need the book to understand the format but if you can use the search engines, I think you can get most of the information on the web.
Awesome & thorough coverage of many APA scenarios. Nice design of organization for easier access to the information being sought.
I thought I was ordering the 6th Edition but I received the 5th so for me the purchases was useless
I'm taking an advanced writing/ APA course that uses the APA workbook and training manual. I'm in the final week of this course, and I use this Manual ALL the time. That workbook was made to coincide with this Publication Manual. However, this book was not a required text, so I found it here on amazon and bought it to help me in this course as an extra study tool. The APA codes line up exactly with the workbook and training manual. It is packed FULL of APA rules you need to know in order to write term papers, research papers, and journal articles.
