 More manageable October 26, 2009
Fiona (Brisbane, Australia)
Concise rules of APA style is more manageable in a physical sense, than the entire APA Publication Manual. It is also probably just as useful for most people, as the bigger more expensive Publication Manual. Speedy service from Amazon and good value - for all the Australian online shoppers out there.
 not very good for this type of reference September 15, 2009

this will be brief, but I have had writing reference books much better than this one. The one major flaw other than the poor set up was that it is not tabbed for easy look up. you have to go to the table of contents, which is poorly organized for anything.
 Not a very valuable resource or as a quick reference August 26, 2009

I agree with some of the other reviewers that this book is missing very important information. At over 200 pages, there definitely was space to include some of the more important reference points for APA style.
As a quick reference, APA: The Easy Way by Houghton does a better job and it's substantially cheaper. I also think this "quick reference" is overpriced, too wordy (280 pages), and misses a lot of what you need when you are just looking something up in a hurry.
Just buy the primary reference book and save yourself some money.

APA is a great companion for writing papers in college May 22, 2009
David A. Boyd (Atlanta, GA USA)
This APA reference book is a very clear and descriptive to help one understand how to manage the writings into the APA style. I am using this in my college classes and it is required by our university. This is a great book to purchase and keep around for your Masters program. I found the layout of the book to be easy to understand.
