Summary: Next to worthless
Comment: Do not buy this unless you have the opportunity to see one first, or are willing to return it. THIS GUIDE COVERS FORMATTING ALMOST TO THE EXCLUSION OF EVERYTHING ELSE IMPORTANT IN APA. I bought this for help with an editing job I do part-time for a professional journal. It is so inadequate, it will go straight into the garbage can. There are free online APA style Guides which are by far better.
There are eight chapters in this.The first 6 are about page setup, grapics, citing references, and other basic stuff. These cover the first 91 pages. The bulk of the rest of the book is about setting up reference lists! Over 100 pages for this. I suppose someone may need this much on it, but I suspect most don't. It usually gives an example of a reference and then gives step-by-step instructions to make your own. I do mean detailed. "At the left margin, type the author's..." If you need this much detail, you probably need instructions telling you to turn the page too.
Punctuation and spelling is covered in Chap 8. It contains TWO pages! It is so simplistic as to be worse than useless. It is more of a joke.
This book contains little but instructions for fromatting. Perhaps it is my fault that I did not read the detail about this thing before ordering, but for some reason--call me a fool--I thought an APA users guide covered all the APA. I was certainly wrong there.
Rating: 1
Summary: out-of-date information
Comment: The APA revised their citation guidelines in a new publication dated 2001. It is the fifth edition. Therefore, Carol Amato's book has incorrect information in it.
Rating: 2
Summary: Not a complete guide
Comment: Be careful if you are considering purchasing this guide. There are two formats of APA style (submitted and published). This manual only covers one of the formats. My school requires the one not covered so the book was of no use to me.
