Not a book I would have chosen to read; I thought I pretty much knew everything there was to know about APA style. Well, not really, but I do know how to use Perdue OWL. Still, it has bits of humor now and again and sometimes it's nice to have a hard copy when you are attempting to write a paper and your internet is acting up because it's a cloudy night.

Although hardly scintillating reading, this guide did provide some insight into what APA Style requires with comfortable flow and good humor.
