| Pocket Guide To Apa Style by Houghton Mifflin Company Pocket Guide to APA Style a dissertation must |
The Pocket Guide to APA Style by Robert Perrin was
recommended by the Chairman of my dissertation
committee as the "must have" for completing a
dissertation. The Pocket Guide became an excellent
tool giving a quick reference for formatting my
dissertation as well as other research papers.

| Pocket Guide To Apa Style by Houghton Mifflin Company Excellent little resource |
| This little book made all of the other APA format references obsolete. It is concise and well thought out. The other references are 500 pages and a career in themselves to wander through. This little spiral will be with me through graduate school I thank Robert Perrin for making the mechanics of the research paper understandable and workable. |
| Pocket Guide To Apa Style by Houghton Mifflin Company A Must Have |
| This Pocket Guide is wonderful, and I'm recommending it to all my graduate students as a "must have" for their library. |
| Pocket Guide To Apa Style by Houghton Mifflin Company From MLA to APA |
Although I have spent the last four years of my undergrad preparing papers in the MLA style, my final capstone class to complete my degree required APA style papers. Apparently this was to prepare me for grad school. Whatever the reason, it was a big change, but a very manageable change thanks to the Pocket Guide to APA Style.
The book was very conveniently organized and made APA style understandable. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in learning APA style or required to learn APA style. Bottom line, it's a great, handy, little book for research paper writers. |
| Pocket Guide To Apa Style by Houghton Mifflin Company A must have for any post-secondary education student. |
| The Pocket Guide to Apa Style is a handy reference that I wish I had earlier in my academic career. It nicely augments the full APA Publication Manual and is technically accurate. The Pocket Guide sits next to my laptop and is easier to flip through then the manual. It is able to address most APA Style questions. It is not a substitute for the Manual is truly a "must have" for graduate students. |
