5.0 out of 5 stars
An great 5-volume set that no one can buy., October 19, 2009
This review is from: Hate Crimes [5 volumes] (Hardcover)
I'm one of the editors of this set and I have to say it is really impressive. Not only are all the "big names" here, but some amazing writing research by young academics. It is really the definitive collection on hate crime research!
That's why it is so puzzling that Praeger doesn't want you to buy it. They have 5 hard cover books for $450. Who is going to buy this??? That's $90 a book that you cannot buy separately! I hope someone at Praeger reads this. Why not break up the volume, put them is softback and sell a few damn books? I would be happy to use two of them in my hate crimes class (at least). It makes no sense. A lot of work went in to this set and few will see it.
But if you have a grant, or a library, or some unmarked stimulus money, pick up this huge body of work.
