 Not worth the worry February 3, 2010

As you've probably already read, there are lots of errors in this edition of the book. I would encourage you to wait until further printings are done to ensure you get a corrected version, or just use the web-site for clarification. If you've a paper riding on your correct use of APA, then seriously reconsider this choice, and if you do purchase it, make sure you get the pages of corrections that have been issued for reference.
 Third Printing: December 2009 February 3, 2010

I've been meaning to purchase this book since its release in July 2009 but was very hesitant, fearing that I might receive the infamous "first printing laden with errors". However, I need this for school and placed my order on Jan 31, 2010. My copy arrived today and instead of "Second printing: August 2009", mine states:
"Second printing: October 2009
Third printing: December 2009"
on the copyright page. I called the APA Service Center and their representative said that all copies except for the first printing should be free of errors. He also said that they are probably on their 7th printing now (not sure how true this is). Nonetheless, I am glad that Amazon finally seems to be selling the corrected version.
APA Manual-6th Edition February 1, 2010

This edition of the American Psychological Association (APA) Manual is much smaller (in volume) than previous versions. It is written in a style that should be easily learned by new students, even though the basic principles remain challenging until well practiced. The 6th edition lacks a single page (which was found in previous editions) for "common forms" of reference listings, thus the omission forces the student to "dig" much deeper into the text to find the common forms for periodicals and non-periodicals. Also, the publisher has remained very vague in this edition (as in past editions) relative to the rules of abbreviation use for references and in-text citation. I wish that the American Psychological Association would strictly state that abbreviations are absolutely forbidden within reference listings and within in-text citations (with the only exceptions being for the allowable APA abbreviations list). Regardless, the 6th edition comes with ample guidance for its use from the APA website, thereby minimizing the learning curve for new students. Experienced APA users with find the manual an easier reference, in my opinion.

I purchase the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. 6th edition as required text for graduate level class. The book arrived within the committed timeframe and in good condition.

This new edition is more condensed and informative than the previous version. Bought this because it was required for school. Didin't feel it was necessary, but am so glad to have this new version. Much more visual examples of papers, citations, tables, appendices, etc.
