Format:Paperback
The 6th edition book is rather different from 5th edition. First of all, it is much shorter. The order of chapters is completely redone, and a lot of background information from 5th edition is now only available online. This makes it less suitable as a comprehensive style guide compared to APA 5th.
There are some important style changes that will influence writing papers (most notably how to make reference for papers with more than 6 authors, a change that requires referencing software like Endnote and ReferenceManager to re-program part of their core architecture). So everyone going to send papers should adopt this new version (although many journals still ask for APA 5th style!).
A major improvement over the 5th edition is the extensive section on ethics of publishing, which outlines what counts as plagiarism, how much self-plagiarism is allowable and in which circumstances, etc.
All in all, I will use this new edition next to the much more comprehensive 5th edition for the foreseeable future.

It is riddled with errors. Perhaps APA will hire a proofreader (or even an editor, too) before the 2nd printing. Use the 5th edn and wait until the 2nd printing before purchasing.

This is basically a "must have" for those who write scientific papers in social sciences. I would expect one adjustement or improvement in the next edition, that is more examples of tabels with presentation of statistical data. Otherwise this is an important guide on how to prepare valuable document for the benefit of science development.

Don't touch with a bargepole
I've worked in publishing for more than 20 years and can honestly say that APA style is rubbish. It's poorly thought through and far more difficult for writers, editors and readers... Read more

Awful but necessary
This is by far one of the worse APA manuals on the market, however, it is currently required reading under some courses and higher level degrees. Read more

Manual ...
As every manual is not an exciting book however is the kind of thing that you need anyway. It is not too clear.
