Concise Guide to APA Style, Seventh Edition is the official APA Style resource for students. Written for high school and undergraduate students, instructors, and writers learning APA Style, this easy-to-use pocket guide is adapted from the seventh edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association . It provides complete guidance for new writers on effective, clear, and inclusive scholarly communication and the essentials of formatting papers and other course assignments. The seventh edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect best practices in scholarly writing and publishing.
Admittedly only a helpful reference manual until APA8 comes out. I will keep it on hand and use as needed until it becomes outdated; however, I absolutely could have skipped this purchase as almost everything I looked up for my academic writing class was also available online.
