Frank Phillips, founder of Phillips Petroleum, was one of the most prominent self-made business tycoons of the twentieth century.

A must-have for students and researchers
Format: Spiral-bound
I use this all the time. The Concise Guide to APA Style (7th Edition) is incredibly helpful, easy to navigate, and much less overwhelming than flipping through the full manual. Great quick reference for papers, citations, and formatting.

Perfect for learning APA format
Format: Spiral-bound
If you are one learning how to write, cite and use references in APA format this is the perfect book for you. It literally breaks down everything for you and has examples of what to do. It has an example essay if you need something to reference as well. I'd recommend this book to anyone that has a strict professor or that is learning how to write APA.

Font size small, hard to read
Format: Spiral-bound
Item received as described and on time, my only issue is how small the font it. Makes it hard to find what you're looking for
