I got the second printing!

I was nervous about ordering this because of the problems with the first printing, but I just got my copy from Amazon today (January 20) and it is indeed the second printing. Thanks!

Promt and curteous

The item arrived promplty and in great shape. The shipment included a form outlining the sellers policy for returns should they be necessary. Although I plan on keeping the item knowing that a seller has a return policy is very helpful.

I just purchased in-store the spiral bound Publication Manual 6 edition from Barnes and Noble. I was suprised to find that the copy I purchased is the third printing. According to the APA Web site all corrections were made in the second printing: August 2009. [...]
I could not find which printing Amazon is shipping. Eventually, I hope Amazon will post it on the product Web page.
