The publishers of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition have been made aware that the first printing contains numerous errors. Complaints from researchers, students and librarians have induced APA to offer a compilation of the corrections online, as well an opportunity to exchange copies of the 1st printing for the (corrected) 2nd printing.
The compiled corrections to the 1st printing can be found at http://supp.apa.org/style/pubman-reprint-corrections-for-2e.pdf. Copies of these corrections have been printed and inserted in all of the copies of the manual available in Hahnemann Library as a temporary measure until replacement copies are obtained.
According to the information we have received, details about exchanging copies of the Manual for the corrected printing can be obtained by contacting the APA Service Center after November 2 at: 800 374-2721. You can determine whether you have the 1st printing or the 2nd printing by looking at the reverse of the title page (at the very bottom of the page).
