Throughout the book the authors have made good use of tables and other visual stimuli (where appropriate) to make it easier to understand what the APA format should look like. The text is on the whole clearly written and easy to read. The book is never going to provide the depth required for a postgraduate or professional writer but it should be a great resource for undergraduate students. This is one of the best ‘summaries’ of APA style that I have seen. It will indeed be a book that I will recommend to my own undergraduate students. -- Cathrine V. Jansson-Boyd, Department of Psychology, Anglia Ruskin University, United Kingdom
This book is written in a conversational style which provides a nice relief from consulting the rather dry text of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association . The aim of the book is essentially to simplify or demystify some of the complexities of writing using APA style and format. It does this particularly well by providing precise examples of common mistakes and how these can be avoided. I particularly like the fact that, as well as describing correct APA style and format, the book also contains screenshots of sample papers, which provide quick visual guides on correct formatting, referencing and writing style. -- Tom Merrill
