“With so much in the book, it’s unavoidable that we wouldn’t need to make corrections of some kind.”
I guess the advent of computers and word processing which should make things better by freeing human intelligence to look carefully at the content hasn't really helped. Of course the very least that should be done is that the book should be corrected, re-published, and given for free to those who bought the bungled version. Perhaps the whole publication should be an e-book with very good search and annotation tools. That way, we wouldn't be killing trees and they could just send everyone a new publication with the "unavoidable corrections" that would need to be made incorporated into the text (for free of course). But, then again, the APA is probably afraid that people might get copies of their hard work without paying through the nose for it. --Mike On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 7:19 AM, Christopher D.
