If you really need help do not buy
I thought this would be a great help in writing my collage papers. This explains a lot of unnecessary stuff that does not include the APA citation. Zero help to me

Save yourself time and download the PERRLA app instead
I did not find this book to be very helpful. I have been out of school for many years but I am college educated. The copy I received was slashed through the cover and the first 50 pages like someone had opened the box with a razor knife so I returned it. Saved myself a lot of time by downloading the PERRLA app that formats your paper APA and formats your citations. All you have to do is enter your references and it formats them too.

I must need the stupid version
This reads like stero instructions in chinese for me. I need this "for dummies version" dummied down a good bit more. Invest in PERRLA as a Word extension save yourself a few bucks and a migraine.
