Product Description
An ideal tool for students writing research papers across the disciplines, the concise and inexpensive Pocket Guide to APA Style provides straightforward explanations, annotated examples, and margin notes to help students write properly documented papers in the latest APA style. In addition to step-by-step coverage of documentation, the book includes an overview of the research-writing process entitled "Writing Scholarly Papers" and three useful appendices. Thorough and practical, this convenient reference guide is also less expensive and easier for undergraduates to use than the APA Manual. The Second Edition features expanded coverage of electronic sources to keep students up-to-date on using and evaluating Internet references in their research. In addition, this new edition provides more guidance on avoiding plagiarism. The two sample APA-style papers--one argumentative and one experimental--are carefully annotated to give students extra support as they master the elements of manuscript preparation and documentation principles.

Grad School Life Support July 19, 2008
This purchase was required by my grad school program. I am taking a class with a psychotic ex-English teacher. For instance we had to take a 35 question quiz on APA (I received a 34/35 thank you and thanks to this book:-) and it was an Intro to Teaching course...but anyway that is another story. br /br /I was actually glad to have this book though once it arrived because it's everything, and I mean everything you could ever possibly encounter with regard to APA format, it's just exactly the information you need. Concise and to the point, with no unnecessary fluff. And because of its size it is really easy to carry around and flip through. br /br /Also I recommend buying this on Amazon.com because they by far have the cheapest price (I checked 3 different places), no tax because I'm out of state and this is an online purchase and no shipping charges (for standard shipping on orders of $25+). br /br /(Down with the Campus Bookstore! :-) I love Amazon; I've been a customer for a few years now and could not be more satisfied. They bring me joy!

Convenient size but limited information June 1, 2008
This guide covers most of the APA basics, but I found one place where it differs from the APA Publication Manual. A period in an intext reference was misplaced. My professor caught the mistake when I followed this guide's placement. It is, however, very handy and fits in a brief case nicely so I use it often.

It helps! May 30, 2008
After a 'vacation' I have gone back to school for my Masters.This little book is very helpful in citing and referencing.The sample refs inside the back cover make checking your references quick and easy. It is able to lay flat so you don't hold it open while using it. I find that thoughtful on the publisher's part. The sample paper's are nice too. They are a good review and also remind you that you will eventually have a finished paper that looks like an educated person wrote it. My Pocket Guide is at my elbow as I write this review because I just finished a paper and now I'm buying one of these for my best friend who just started back into a Bachelors program.
