I would like to let you know that APA is now offering free replacement of the 6th ed. APA publication manual (first printing, which has tons of errors) with its second printing. This offer will end on December 15. So, basically, what you need to do is to call up APA and tell them that you will be sending them your first printing manual, and they will send you back the second printing. For details, please go to the APA publication manual first priting FAQ. (Just in case the hyperlink is not working, here's the url: http://www.apastyle.org/manual/corrections-faqs.aspx) They have to receive your first printing manual by 12/15/09. So, act fast!
Also, I just checked the bookstore today, fyi: they are selling the first printing. The second printing got out in August, so, I guess you may be able to get them somewhere around.
Here's the section from the APA website regarding to the replacement:
I purchased a copy of the first printing of the sixth edition of the Publication Manual from a source other than APA, but I still want a replacement. What do I need to do?
Even though you purchased your first printing of the sixth edition of the Publication Manual from another source, you are still welcome to participate in the return/exchange program. In order to receive an exchange replacement manual, you must return your current copy of the sixth edition to APA no later than December 15, 2009.
We would like to make this transaction as cost neutral to you as possible. A process has been created to provide you with a UPS postage paid return label that you can use to return the book to us. Please call the APA Service Center at 800-374-2721 for more information about the paid return postage process.
If you are interested in an exchange replacement copy, please contact the APA Service Center at your convenience for further information. Service Center staff can be reached at 800-374-2721 from 9:00 am until 6:00 pm (Eastern Time) Monday–Friday. E-mail correspondence can be directed to the Order Department.
