Publication Manual of the Amercian Psychological Association

Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fifth Edition This manual is a must for students who are preparing research papers, term papers, or essay reports and have to use the APA method. I would not be without it!

Top quality

The book came in the mail in top condition and in good time. Thank you!

talk about a DRY book!

This is one of my absolute least favorite topics - writing for academic journal publication. Lest I start a rant about the very premise of intellectual information-hoarding, here is the lowdown.

The book is a big, floppy paperback, close to the measurements of a phone directory. It is sometimes hard to focus on the thinner fonts used in some of the sections, complicated by the late hours and crummy light many students will use it in. However, it is fairly quick to access those bits of publishing minutiae needed for one's term paper or article.

That said, I would steer you to a regular style manual if possible, because this is geared for people who *must* adhere to the Psychology Association's demands. It's no good for regular writers who address wide audiences, as it has peculiarities unique to scholarly psychological article making.

Also, get it used, because someone in the know keeps changing said minutiae, causing victims to rush to expensive retailers for the latest version. You may get by just fine with the pocket version ... but find out how strict your professor is!

When you need it

This is a technical manual that would only be woth the purchase if you really need it. Undergraduate students could likely get by with a quick reference chart (BarCharts, Inc. for example) for a small fraction of the cost and without taking up shelf space or killing several trees. However, if you need it you need it and there is no substitute.
