Description: This handbook is a quick and simplified guide to the APA writing style. It was developed as a condensed version of the official APA Publication Manual and designed to be utilized as a supplement to the actual guide.
The handbook is divided into three parts. Part one focuses on the mechanics of APA format as well as internal text citations; part two emphasizes the actual reference page entries; and part three provides a sample paper.
Details: this is a great book, it has helped me so much in my writing skils. thanks for such a great book.

Details: I am in a second degree nursing program and after using MLA for my undergraduate degree, I had to purchase this book because I hadn't previously used APA format. I have to say the book is very small, but very much so "to the point." If you use Microsoft Word, the author actually explains exactly how to set up everything with both the older and the newer 2007 version. In my opinion, this book helped me quickly understand how I needed to format my paper APA style. It was very helpful.
Review Summary: APA Style made very easy

Details: I think if you're in graduate school, you really need this book AND the APA manual. However, this manual is GREAT for helping with the formatting issues, which can be quite time consuming! It gives step-by-step directions for using your word processor to type papers, which the APA manual does not.
