 Spiral-Bound Wonder July 1, 2003

When I originally purchased the current edition, I bought it in a regular binding and immediately regretted it upon first use. This spiral bound edition allows it to lay flat so that when you are trying to confirm the style, you don't have to lay two other books on top of it to make it work. BUY THIS EDITION IF YOU HAVE TO USE APA.

Hard to review a style manual - they are all a pain in the butt to live/write with. However, this spiral bound version is the best, you can lay it down without having to type one handed while you consult it! Any price premium for the spriral binding is worth it, don't buy the regularly bound one, trust me!

If you're required to use APA format and you only want to buy one book, this is the one. While some of the mastery guides to using APA might be helpful, this manual is the bible. It is not, however, Greek or Hebrew. It is a little intimidating until you get used to it and if you're doing much APA writing, you're going to get VERY used to it. A spiral-bound copy makes it easy to keep the book open to your place - the only thing that would make it better is tabs for frequently used sections (but you can add those yourself).

I found this version a lot more "user friendly" than the previous version, which I thought was very confusing. The fact that this resource is offered as "spiral bound" makes it a plus also. The sections that deal with proper grammar and punctuation use are logically formatted and easy to understand. After writing a couple of papers using this book I can honestly say that I am "getting the hang" of using the APA format.

This book is obviously necessary for anyone who needs to write in the APA format. Whether or not the format is good or bad is beside the point. It clearly stipulates what writers need to know to format their articles correctly.
I recommend this book for anyone needing to write in the APA format. As a psychology student, I have found it extremely useful to answer all the little questions a person unfamiliar with writing articles has about format.
