APA finally does the right thing!

Apparently the pressure has paid off and APA is going to replace the flawed first printing of the APA manual. There was a brief storty today: Inside Higher Ed and a longer one in the Chronicle The information has been posted on a Facebook page organized to boycott purchase of the manual. I reprint the instructions here:

"I have just received word that After November 2, call APA at 1-800-374-2721, ext. 5510. Ask for instructions on how to go on-line and print a mailing label you can use to return your copy and receive a corrected copy."

An added note (3 pm, Oct. 28): I just saw on a listserv: "they (APA) said starting Nov. 2 they would have a form online and let us all fill it out. They would then send us a mailing label to return the copies. The only copies they would take would be copies purchased no desk copies or free copies. "
