APA: The Easy Way!

If you just want to satisfy your curiosity and get a flavor of what the APA is, then this book is for you, but if your are working on a term paper, for example and need a guide to proper citing of your sources then get something more complete. This book for example totally leaves out things like citing of images, charts and numerical data.

APA: The Easy Way!
This book I purchased along with APA Pocket Handbook. But this book has a different purpose. This is the book to use to set up your computer to write in APA Format (If you use word). This book told me exactly which keys to click, choices to select, buttons to push, the whole nine yards. Then once my computer was set up for APA, I started writing my paper. No matter how many times I stopped and did something else, the minute I opened back up my paper document, the computer shifted in APA format. I didn't have to reset anything. For someone who grew up using a typewriter, this is heaven. So, I suggest purchasing both books. One so you know how to type the paper and one to set up the computer. Makes writing a paper so much easier,especially for someone used to using MLA.

This book was a great asset when I was writing my pyshology paper. The sample is clear and very understandable. The book leaves nothing out.

When writting in APA style, there's no substitute for the real thing. Buy the APA Publication Manual, read it, use it, and don't bother spending money on guides or shortcuts. They don't work.

It's a nice reference book, short and to the point but it's still no substitute for the actual book. If you are lazy, then this is for you.
