Yet another author specified the APA style, so I figured it would be easier to get the manual than fossick around on the internet. The book is entitled Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association and is in its sixth edition.
It is much slimmer than the AMA manual, isn't as helpful as you might expect, and has some very surprising inconsistencies and omissions. I think this is because it really is aimed at academic research papers in psychology; it was never meant to be used in any kind of book for any kind of audience. If I were you, I'd only follow it if my journal publisher specified.
