RIP OFF 
(2010-09-10)
The APA Manual that Amazon is selling is deceitful. This applies to all versions: spiral to paperback. The current APA Manual is the 6th edition and there were so many mistakes it is up to the THIRD printing. Look at the inside material available on Amazon about the APA Manual. If you review the copyright material, the 5th ed is shown with a disclaimer that you will get the 6th ed if you click Add to you cart. BUT YOU ARE GETTING AN OUT-OF-date BOOK!! In the copyright area, it should read "Third Printing." If not the book is out of date and you are being ripped off. You can supplement with some on-line sites but then why buy the book?
An excellent book for reference work (2010-09-09)
As an academician, I do a lot of research work. This book has made it very easy for me to do the proper referencing in my research papers. On top of this, I like the details on research writing such as 'How to express ideas and reducing bias in language'. As English is not my first language, this additional knowledge in this book really help me a lot.
