Ah, the pain! My APA Pocket Handbook has been for sale on Amazon for about four months now, and I just got a one-star review! It cuts, let me tell you. All of those five star reviews are no salve for the burning I feel.
I usually consider myself good at taking criticism (especially when it's positive :0), but when it's directly connected to my livelihood, well, you can see how that would make it more difficult.
The Handbook has actually done pretty well so far (though it may not, after this), and the response has been positive. Personally, I think it would be helpful for my own Research Writing students, which is why I wrote it in the first place....
It turns out life is not all fairy tales and ice cream sundaes. Mom, how could you?
