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.

Borrow this from the library before you buy

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