Book Review: A Must for Doctoral Students
Summary: 5 Stars
I discovered this terrific little book when I was a Ph.D. student. Now, as a doctoral faculty member at a leading online university, I continue to use it regularly and recommend it highly to my students.
Perrin's guide has saved me countless hours of poring over the writing style manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), which, by the way, is excellent, more comprehensive, and a "must own" if you are a doctoral student, but is more traditional in its organization and presentation of the material.
Perrin's book is very user friendly. It has a spiral binding, which allows you to open it to any page and lay it flat on the table while you work. More importantly, it has a convenient list inside the front cover of the most frequently used types of periodicals, books, audiovisual sources, and electronic sources, along with the pages numbers in the book where you can find the in-text and reference citations for them. This index makes finding the correct APA citations for most common reference situations quite simple.
The information presented in this guide is clear and easy to find. It is a great time saver.

Summary of Pocket Guide to APA Style
An ideal tool for students writing research papers across the disciplines, the concise and inexpensive Pocket Guide to APA Style provides straightforward explanations, annotated examples, and margin notes to help students write properly documented papers in the latest APA style. In addition to step-by-step coverage of documentation, the book includes an overview of the research-writing process entitled "Writing Scholarly Papers" and three useful appendices. Thorough and practical, this convenient reference guide is also less expensive and easier for undergraduates to use than the APA Manual. The Second Edition features expanded coverage of electronic sources to keep students up-to-date on using and evaluating Internet references in their research. In addition, this new edition provides more guidance on avoiding plagiarism. The two sample APA-style papers--one argumentative and one experimental--are carefully annotated to give students extra support as they master the elements of manuscript preparation and documentation principles.English as a Foreign Language Books
