Amazon sells the FOURTH printing APRIL 2010, 2010-09-03
By Kitmacculate
This is the CORRECTED FOURTH printing from April 2010... however, this is only true if you buy it from Amazon... I am not sure if the other retailers are up to date with the printing or they are still selling the erroneous first printing. Don't buy a used one with this.

This overpriced and unnecessary 'book' caters to the far left ideology and supports perversion!, 2010-08-31
By The Patriarch
Good morning to thee, potential buyer of this Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, good morning!
I am writing this review to hopefully prevent you from making the same mistake I once did, to wit I mean, buying this book! There are many reasons why buying this book would make you more of a gullible fool than say, someone who voted for Barack Obama, the most important of which would be the huge price that you have to pay for a book that you will never use in class anyway. In fact, most of the information contained in this book that is relevant to actually writing a term paper can be found elsewhere on the Internet for absolutely free! If you absolutely need this book for some reason, you can simply check it out from your local library or even the library on your campus!
That being said, the main reason why you would want to avoid this book, avoid it like the Noid, would be the amount of far left liberal propaganda that they have snuck in! The aim of this book is clearly to have the student learn to write in the most Politically Correct method possible! One of the most egregious examples of which is how the book strives to normalize g a y behavior by instructing the reader on what these ...people... desire to be called! I find this to be extremely hypocritical when the American Psychological Association has this type of behavior listed as a mental illness as recently as the 1970s!
In closing, do not buy this book under any circumstances. That is, unless you want to demonstrate to the world your very own herd mentality!

APA Manual 6th Edition, 2010-08-24
By Freelance
The manual is less expensive than the 5th edition by about $16, however, it is cheaper made and the paper is cheaper and the wireless is hard to turn and feels like the paper is going to rip. The manual extensively written is very confusing. Not too much different from 5th edition. Just a way for the APA to make more money!!
