Publication Manual (OFFICIAL) 7th Edition of the American Psychological Association

Very valuable item to keep handy.

Love my manual. I can’t wait to gift it to someone else once I’m done with it! I plan to keep it in decent condition! Worth the price and worth having, especially if you’re in education!

I am so glad I went ahead and got this, especially glad I chose the spiralbound with tabs. I just unpackaged and opened it up a few minutes ago and I have already put it to good use.The only downside I can see is that the pages are very thin and would be easy to accidentally tear. I bought an additonal set of tabs to go with this, and while installing them, I had to be very careful with the pages of the book.But all-in-all, a wonderful purchase, and well worth it!

I was avoiding buying this, but I need it for a project and my TA job. It's a great manual. It's to the point and color coded. Easy to find the rules I need to follow. I'm glad I purchased it.

I purchased this for a reference material as I completed my Doctorate of Education. It was helpful to reference to ensure I was formatting correctly for APA.

Among my other writing-related pursuits, I edit PhDs. This APA 7 manual is a big improvement over earlier APA editions.The primary purpose of any edition is to update the APA standards. This manual is packed with content and examples that were IMO long overdue. For instance, there are templates to show the order of data for Reference entries, and there are side-by-side examples of Reference and in-text citations.I ordered the wire-bound version because it works well in any workspace (i.e., you can easily fold the book in half or leave it wide open.The chapters are divided by tabs, with the ToC (table of contents) for that chapter printed on the tab.Compared to earlier versions, the font is smaller, but it remains highly readable. The margins are wide enough for notes.There are several downsides to the manual that I hope will be resolved in the next edition:(a) For such a large manual, the cover on the wirebound copy is both too short and relatively flimsy. It is too short because it is only the width of the pages. It does not extend over the tabs. It is too flimsy because it is the same weight as earlier and less substantial manuals.(b) There is no tab for the index.(c) Although the font in the chapters is a sufficient size, the font in the index is much smaller and the index pages are crowded; there is less room in the margins for taking notes.I dealt with the cover-related problems by cutting up a transparent binder/page sleeve for the front, back, and spine of the cover, and by creating my own tab for the index. There's nothing to be done for the index font except to live with it.You can get the gist of what I've reported here by looking at the pictures I've attached.

I am in night school and this book is great for the many reports I write.

Great book for my classes
