Customer Rating:
Summary: 3rd Edition is Available
Comment: I just purchased this through Amazon (March, 2010), and then read the reviews afterward. I was unaware that there were problems with the early editions. I was relieved when mine arrived and it is a third printing. I haven't used it yet, so I only gave it 4/5 stars, but I'm sure it will be sufficient.
Customer Rating:
Summary: publication manual of the American Psychological Assn
Comment: Product came in excellent condition. Took quite awhile to arrive in the mail, longer than what I expected. So if you need something quickly this would have not been a good option.

Summary: Book Order Review
