This manual is so easy to use. Everything is in a catagory and there is no need to wade through hundreds of pages. Easy to use, made writing papers much easier.

This is so much easier to follow than my big version on how to write APA. I recommend it highly.

I think if you're in graduate school, you really need this book AND the APA manual. However, this manual is GREAT for helping with the formatting issues, which can be quite time consuming! It gives step-by-step directions for using your word processor to type papers, which the APA manual does not.

This book is so complete and thorough and thus is awesome in explaining the APA format. My review AWESOME!

This book was recommended by my teacher. As one well versed in MLA format, I found this APA format book very helpful and much needed (plus it was very inexpensive!). Amazon shipped early as always and I have no complaints :)

This by far is the best book available to help students understand APA format it is in CLEAR ENGLISH with examples (thank you). Although the other APA manual is very detailed, APA the Easy Way cuts right to the point. I use many different sources for references and this book answers the how to cite this or that questions quickly.

I showed my professor this book and she was so impressed she said she was going to have to buy this book herself. A few of my class mates bought the other book and are so lost they don't know how to make heads or tails of the manual. This book is the best choice for the price and has easily understandable content.

Oh if you open the view (look inside this book) on Amazon for APA the Easy Way you get the actual setup for Microsoft Word prior to 2003 for all sides of the paper. This really helped me when I could not afford the book, at first.

Don't forget you can get all information on format and citations on the internet for free if you search, I know I did. I have this book and my internet notes from goggling the order of pages.( you will see APA Style Essentials.) Happy writing!!!!

Excellent and very concise resource for those who use the APA-style of writing and citation. Very useful and user-friendly. Recommended by many universities, and now I see why!

Having used MLA for all of my past academic work, I was completely baffled by APA's rules and intricacies. This concise reference helped me overcome my anxiety in one evening. My scores on APA style have been perfect since buying this book. Highly recommended.

Easy to use, and helped me get to know the APA writing style. Very readable, short and sweet. Kind of a quick fix, and an excellent addition to the "big" books on official APA format. It helped me immensely with my University of Phoenix classes, especially when some of the professors refused to help students find things they couldn't locate in the big books. This one helps you at least get an idea of what things are called and where you need to go! Like I said, EXCELLENT RESOURCE & SUPPLEMENT!

Easy to follow- very helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!I return back to college to do my masters in nursing after a 10 plus absence, I had a lot of difficulty following the APA style but this book kept it simple and gave clear examples.I did recommend it to classmates who were experiencing the same difficulties and the reaction was positive. Thank you

This instruction book is great. It is easy to read,understand and has great step-by-step instructions as well as covering everything you need know about how to use APA style.

This is a small book but contains all information about APA formatting. Handy when enrolled in a college program.

This book is very simple to read and understand. It is not overwhelming, unlike other APA books. I really like it because it's easy to follow.

You still need to buy the full version of APA however this was great as a quick reference. I would definitly buy both!

This guide is handy to use as a quick reference for APA formatting. Some basic knowledge of APA formatting is required though; this guide mostly contains examples.

I was a little disappointed in this manual, not so much with the content, but with the "prose" way in which it is organized. One good thing about this book is the large font size, however, which makes it easy to use as a desk reference while you are writing a research paper. But after looking through this book for examples, I still ended up going back to my tried-and-true "Pocket Guide to APA Style" by Robert Perrin - the most user-friendly, easy-to-read abbreviated APA guide I have ever seen.

This little book is concise and accurate and very user-friendly. I was able to easily locate the info I needed to cite my paper. The book is based on 5th edition APA rules, which are the most up to date.

I like this book it was easier to follow, much better than the book my university required us to get!

Excellent transaction,super fast mailing.Great book.Literally saved me with my written papers.I cant thank you enough for having it for sale.

Needed this for school, was used to writting in the MLA format so APA was foreign to me. This was helpful and made things simpler.

I had a term paper due at the last minute that had to be in APA style, which I have never used before. This little book is a good condensation of the larger APA Reference Manual. It had all the information I needed to get my term paper in the correct format without too much hassle; it was pretty much step-by-step which I needed (not being a PC guru either). My only complaint is that it only had one major example, but it did help immensely.

This book is a easy and quick help to understand the basic APA format. It only has the essential information which keeps you from feeling overwhelmed. It's a good way to start learning APA guide or refer the basic rule as a aid of more detailed APA guide book.

This book costs only a little more than 10 dollars, but it is a great help to cut down your time formatting your writtings of the Microsoft Word into the APA style. It actually guides you how to format in the APA style step by step and shows you a useful example at the end. Definitely, this book is a must-have, especially for those of you who are not familiar with the Microsoft Word as well as the APA style. Only thing that I wish book authors would include in this excellent book is how to format tables in the APA style.

GREAT RESOURCE! I am a graduate student and not planning to go on to to extensive research, thus decided not to commit hours to studying the giant manual for APA. Instead I bought this book per other's good reviews.

It has been a fantastic resource for APA style, citations, and reference guidelines. Extremely easy to use and nice and small to slip right into your backpack with the other books! The only thing its missing are tabs to make it even quicker to use...so I added my own tabs.

This book only tells you how to cite using APA style, not write. APA style is much more than just referencing. I bought this book hoping for a concise outline of important APA formatting features such as when to use numerals or to write out a number in words, whether bulleted lists are acceptable, etc. Oh well, probably serves me right for trying to avoid the actual APA manual...

I am a first year college student. This book helped me get a B+ in my first essay.

Love this book. Only thing I would like to see is more reference citing examples...otherwise perfect for a quick reference. I'm working on my master's and they are sticklers on the APA style and I really hadn't used it since high school!

If you just want to satisfy your curiosity and get a flavor of what the APA is, then this book is for you, but if your are working on a term paper, for example and need a guide to proper citing of your sources then get something more complete. This book for example totally leaves out things like citing of images, charts and numerical data.

This book was a great asset when I was writing my pyshology paper. The sample is clear and very understandable. The book leaves nothing out.

APA: The Easy Way!
This book I purchased along with APA Pocket Handbook. But this book has a different purpose. This is the book to use to set up your computer to write in APA Format (If you use word). This book told me exactly which keys to click, choices to select, buttons to push, the whole nine yards. Then once my computer was set up for APA, I started writing my paper. No matter how many times I stopped and did something else, the minute I opened back up my paper document, the computer shifted in APA format. I didn't have to reset anything. For someone who grew up using a typewriter, this is heaven. So, I suggest purchasing both books. One so you know how to type the paper and one to set up the computer. Makes writing a paper so much easier,especially for someone used to using MLA.

When writting in APA style, there's no substitute for the real thing. Buy the APA Publication Manual, read it, use it, and don't bother spending money on guides or shortcuts. They don't work.

It's a nice reference book, short and to the point but it's still no substitute for the actual book. If you are lazy, then this is for you.

Using this book really clarified common mistakes I was making with the formal APA manual. This item made life much more easier. I was able to type my papers and get great grades without having to pay someone to type them for me and use proper APA formatting. Thanks for creating such a user friendly book.

This is a great supplemant for the APA manual. This has everything you need to know to write a quick paper plus the addition to work it out on word.

Nice to have as a quick reference. I found this book to be extremely helpful.

This is a great little book that gives you the basics of what you need to know to prepare your student paper using APA style. It's slim but includes answers to all the usual questions: punctuation, reference citations etc. And it's totally affordable. An essential tool if you need to use APA. Why didn't my uni profs tell me about this when I was struggling through my Master's degree????

If you are new to writing in APA style, I would recommend buying the APA Manual instead of this guide. The guide is okay for a quick reference if you are familiar with APA style. However, if you haven't used APA style citing in papers, you are probably better off buying the manual.

Great little book for quick reference for APA writers - not all inclusive but covers most of what you need...

The APA is required for my classes at the University of Phoenix. The larger, heavier book is not ideal for carrying back and forth to class. This condensed version makes sense.

This book has helped me with writing papers for my college classes. I have used this book almost every time I write.

I found this book very easy to pick up, flip through, and find how I need to cite my papers and list my references. It's to the point. If you need something more detailed, then this book is not for you.

This book has been a great help to me. It has taken a lot of the stress out of being a graduate student. I love it!

Because so many of my students have difficulties with APA style and seem to have trouble navigating the APA manual, I was looking for a book that might make APA style a little easier. This little book presents the basics of APA style in a clear, accurate, and easy to navigate package.

quick, easy, to the point. i'd never written an APA style paper when i purchased this book, but it was helpful enough to tell me what i needed to know to complete my assignment. i like that it is affordable and isn't full of stuff i didn't need to know to write the paper. it covers the basics, that's about it, but that's usually enough.

Sometimes the easy way is not the best way. I would not recommend it to my students.

very helpful book APA: The Easy Way! worth the buy. if you need help just buy this book

A few months ago I started online courses and was introduced to APA formatting which I had no prior understanding of. Instead of relying on information that instructors might provide, I decided to invest in a few books of my own. I purchased APA: The Easy Way! and also the actual APA Manual. APA: The Easy Way! is small, fits just about anywhere, and easily lays out the information needed to complete a paper and a reference list. I would recommend this book over the actual APA Manual. Both my mom and I find this book extremely helpful that we had ordered another one!

If you are new to APA style writing, this is the PERFECT companion.
I've even recommended it to my classmates.

This is a very small book, but it packs a wealth of information.
I use it constantly to site my references for UoPhoenix courses.
It helps the user site basic information needed for APA documents.
Buy the official APA book because you will need it too.
But this book is outstanding for giving step by step instructions for citing the basic info for your assignments.

The APA manual is 485 pgs long, why bother when APA The Easy Way gives you examples of how to do all you need in much less time and space.

This is a great little book that summarizes the most important aspects of APA style. It is concise and easy to follow with just enough examples. I highly recommend you start here before buying the style guide which is more difficult to follow. If you do buy the style guide, get this book to work with and the larger more complicated books as a general reference. There are also many free online resources for APA style and some of them are excellent.
