Hot Type: Psychological Association Offers to Replace Error-Ridden Copies of Style Guide
The Chronicla of Higher Education reports that the American Psychological Association is now offering to replace the flawed first printing of the APA 6th edition.
“The cumulative outrage finally carried the day. The association has just announced that it will “recycle” remaining softcover copies of the sixth edition. Anyone who gets in touch with the association between November 2 and December 15 and asks for a replacement will receive a free copy of the emended second printing, according to Rhea Faberman, director of communications. (She recommends that people contact the APA’s service center to submit those requests.)”
