Rules of Thumb with 2002 APA Update and Electronic Tutor CD-ROM

Rating:
Summary: Quick and easy to use.
Review: In my line of work, I often find myself in the position of writing for others as well as myself: letters, paragraphs and sometimes longer pieces. Rules of Thumb is exactly what I need as someone who loves grammar, but has been out of school for 15+ years and needs a quick...you guessed it..."rule of thumb" on a particular topic. I highly recommend it for the workplace. The pages are laid out in such a way that merely thumbing through the book allows your eye to land on the topic you're looking for. When all you need is a quick reminder, or even consise 'how, why, when and where' examples -- this is the book to choose!

Summary: Not the APA guide I thought it was
Review: This book is not quite what it is portrayed to be. And the CD-ROM is so general in nature that it really is not that helpful. If you need information on APA-style then by the official APA guidebook.

Summary: Comprehensive and quick reference in one easy to use package
Review: This book provides a complete, easy to understand description of all aspects of grammatically correct writing. But what makes this book truly exceptional is the integral quick reference guides in every chapter that allow you to make a quick check when you are in the midst of your writing project. I have not found any other book that works this well for me; I have used it in place of the corresponding required text for my college English classes.
