Not the Original Book, a Modern Interpretation,

This review is from: Charles Mackay's Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds (52 Brilliant Ideas) (Kindle Edition)
As others in this series, this is not the original book, but a modern interpretation. 'Nuff said. It would be best to follow this up, or preface it, with a reading of the original work.

This is NOT the book, it's a commentary or response to the book,

I downloaded this book, expecting that it was the actual book identified in the title. I was baffled, when I started to read it, to see that it wasn't the book I expected. It's not the original 160-year old book written by Charles MacKay; instead, it's a commentary or response written by Tim Phillips. I suspect that thousands of other people will be tricked into downloading Phillips' work, believing that it's the real thing, and will be annoyed as I was.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Good simple intro,

I really liked this book and the others in the series.Sure you should read the original, but this book does clearly state that it is a modern day interpretation. So a great intro written in an appealing style!
