Summary: Publication Manual of the APA
Comment: Great service from vendor and book arrived in "like new" condition as stated. Would order again from vendor.

Summary: Do you really need this text?
Comment: I had to buy this text as part of my Master's program; however, in reading it, I'm questioning why. If you have Office 2007 for Students, the APA/MLA formatting is in the program. There is also a program called Paper Doctor that does your formatting for you. These are both cheaper than buying this textbook, and you're not learning new info from scratch. You only have to go through simple tutorials.
The company that sent me the text was very efficient and timely. I'm just wondering if I wasted my money.

Summary: A must have
Comment: Every discipline has its arcana to be mastered, and the social sciences are no exception. But if that's where you are, this manual is a must-have. I'm what they call a "recovering lawyer"--lawyers have their style manual which is just as bad--you just gotta learn it!
Having said that, I didn't find this manual all that hard to use. With a little practice and a lot of diligent searching for the right example of a citation, you can learn the basics. I relied heavily on Chapter 4, with its extensive list of 95 examples of everything under the sun.
I'd advise spending a little more and investing in the spiral bound version. The pages are large, the print clear, and it lies nice and flat on the desk. Every little bit helps!

Summary: If you can wait you should - NEW EDITION COMING SOON
Comment: If you can wait to buy this book you should try. The APA is currently re-writing it, and it will include more on electronic documents.
As a text it is average. Nothing amazing, but what is required.
Customer Rating:
Summary: APA style is difficult, but very useful
Comment: The APA manual (5th edition in this case) is sometimes difficult to follow. However, the concepts for proper written communication are extremely useful, especially at the doctoral learning level.
