"I am impressed by the fact that every common mistake my students (and other writers) make is addressed in this book. In every case the logic (what makes the mistake a mistake) is spelled out clearly and preferred options are stipulated."
"...the text (is) a valuable resource for all social work students. It is well organized and well-written."
"This is a simple, straightforward, user-friendly APA writing guide for social work students and professionals."
