 For Graduate Studies, this is a must! July 26, 2004
13 out of 27 found this review helpful
The index in the back of the book, lay out of the pages, and division of chapters provides ease of use for even the beginning level writer of a term paper.
I returned to college, to obtain my Masters, after a twenty year absence. The spiral bound version of this work is an essential resource that I can not do without!
Well designed, with good ease of use.

 The trials and tribulations of APA April 21, 2005

Publications Manual for the American Psychological Association. ISBN: 1557988102.
This book lies in the category of ironing clothes, shoveling snow and doing taxes: it is necessary but not pleasant.
This book is extremely not user friendly. It is organized in such a way that the most relevant information on how to format references is in the middle (pages 232 - 281); one has to jump around to different sections, and try to glean the information necessary to write a footnote, endnote or reference page.
However, this is the new standrda for referncign in the social sciences. Mastery of this format, and this book are key. Once you have gained a working knowledge, you can switch to the software, that prompts you as you go, or use the smaller companion booklet.

If you need to know APA style, this book covers all the bases and is pretty user-friendly. Although I have seen this book with a spiral binding that might be easier to use, being able to leave one page open to refer to.
it's not Amazon's fault.... October 4, 2001

...that the APA keeps making us (psychologists, psych students, etc.) buy new editions of this lovely volume.... it's only slightly different from the last version, but it's just enough to drive anyone batty. Worth the purchase ONLY if writing psychological papers is in your future and if you are completely unfamiliar with APA style.
APA Manual - The discourse of the discipline. March 12, 2004

APA Manual - The discourse of the disciplinary regime.Simply stated, this book is poorly organized and makes the reader wade through many pages in an attempt to find the `correct answer.' The object? - because I are studying under a disciplinary regime and must conform to what the knowledge experts tell us is real.
