2 out of 5 stars My Review   September 11, 2005
 14 out of 17 found this review helpful

Some peopel may find this book useful. I am just begining to learn the APA format and I did not find this book to be user friendly. I have had better information given to me from handouts from other books.

There is not much rating that can be done with a reference book such as this. It gives the APA Rules in concise fashion just like it promises. The Reference citing examples are very thorough. It gives the rules on headings as well as how things like numbers, abbreviations, quotes, and other rules of citing in text should be done. It is small and handy enough to keep near the computer. I love it and don't see any reason why anyone needs the big manual if they have this. It lists all the rules only, so if you are looking for a sample of a whole paper, you will not find it here.

This is probably a useful book for someone who is familiar with APA style. For someone loke myself who had no knowledge of the style rules it was of little use. I'd suggest buying the full version of APA style rules if you're just learning the format.

I thought this would be a more helpful book than the APA Publication Manual, but I was wrong. This small volume does not cover enough items that I need to write a graduate level paper. I suggest purchasing only the Publication Manual.

Easy to use format. Answers for most style questions. Much easier to use than the longer APA manual.
