Blaine et al., Here's the email I received with instructions to either download the changes or to request a replacement copy. APA sent me a prepaid mailing label to return my book, but won't send me a replacement until they receive the copy I sent. Julie

Penley, PhD: Thank you for your email. We regret that there were errors in the 6th edition of the Publication Manual and the inconvenience this has caused you. We are working on ways to make it right. We have produced a detailed corrections summary which is more exhaustive and easier to use than the original summary on the web. This document notes all the known errors in the Manual and puts them in some context. A PDF version of the supplement is available now. You can access the corrections summary right here: http://supp.apa.org/style/pubman-reprint-corrections-for-2e.pdf We are also going to provide a printed version of the supplement. If you want a printed version, they are currently available and can be ordered through the APA Service Center - 800 374-2721. These are designed to easily fit into your copy of the Manual. Many people have found that the corrections supplement meets their needs; if you find however that it doesn't meet yours, we will send you a replacement copy of the second printing (the second printing corrects all the known errors) of the Manual at no cost to you. Before you continue, please double-check to make sure that you have the first printing. The second printing was released in spiral bound and hardcover in August, and has been widely available. Go to the copyright page and look for the words "Second Printing" and a copyright date of "August, 2009." If you see that, then you have the corrected edition. We are making the replacement process available to anyone who purchased the manual. In order to receive a replacement manual, you will have to return your current copy of the 6th edition to APA no later than December 15. We would like to make this transaction cost neutral to you, and will have a pre-paid postage plan in place. This process will be available between November 2nd and December 15th. If you are interested in a replacement copy please contact the APA Service Center after November 2 for further information - Service Center staff can be reached at: 800 374-2721. Please note that we will not be able to exchange instructor review copies. Thank you again for taking the time to write to us, I hope these options meet your needs. Lydia D. L. W.
