Details: This book helped me so little it wasn't worth the price, any price, to purchase it. It's confusing and hard to read. Yuch!
Review Summary: Less useful than I thought it would be.

Details: Was told to buy this by advisor when starting grad school. Should have purchased the APA Manual instead. This book is confusing and often refers to the Manual.
Review Summary: Great Supplemental Tool

Details: I purchased this workbook for my graduate students. It has helped most of them become familiar with what they need to know about APA, and exposed them to aspects of APA they would not normally care about. They all say it is a lifesaver.
Review Summary: Totally Worth the Extra Study Time
Date: 2008-09-19
Details: APA style is a bear to learn using only the Publication Manual. This training guide teaches by doing not just by reading. You can read all about verb subject agreement, anthropomorphism, or how to cite an article with more than three authors until the end of time and still not understand what it means. Use this guide, and it really does begin to make sense. Buy this book. You won't regret it!!
Review Summary: Not Needed
Date: 2008-06-16
Details: The APA Manual provides all that you need - don't bother with this unless you have never written a paper before in your life.
