Thomas Frank, author of What's the Matter with Kansas "A convincing, impressively researched call-to-arms. . . . Fast-paced, informative prose, amply supported by statistics." San Francisco Chronicle "Persuasive. . . .The 30-something author knows whereof she writes."

- 8***5 (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.
