 Totally Worth the Extra Study Time, 2008-09-19
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!!

 Not Needed, 2008-06-16
The APA Manual provides all that you need - don't bother with this unless you have never written a paper before in your life.

Waste of time., 2008-05-24
I do not recommend this book unless you have no clue about APA. If, you are somewhat familiar with using APA style in your research papers, do not bother to purchase it. You can glean the same information from the actual 5th ed. of the APA manual. Check with your reference librarian at you college or university. They may be able to provide you with handouts that may actually be more useful. Therefore, I did not find this book user friendly.

 For writers its a must, 2008-02-25
Needed this book for English class I was taking and it was a required book for most of my classes. Has a lot of information in it.

 A Style Manual lacking, uh, Style, 2007-11-12
I have to admit, the book lost me on page one with the sickening "According to Merriam-Websters Collegiate Dictionary, style is " a convention with respect..." blah blah. Is that the best of your collective efforts?
So, with that grabber of an opener, the reader is treated to an oddly reverent discussion on APA style. As the other reviewers stated, it isn't a reference in any form. I suppose, if one were really, really committed to the APA style they could wade through this book and learn the in's and out's of the style. Outside of a class specifically on that topic, I can't imagine anyone spending the time to complete the lessons.
So, I will purchase a reference book and learn an important lesson on reading the book description carefully.
