I love this book. Its really well written as far as I am concerned and a fabulous introduction to communication theory. Its written with skill and imagination by someone properly in control of his/her material.

I've never been told clearly how to hypothesise and exactly what a paradigm is and I'm delighted!

I'm going to have to buy it for myself.

Many keywords aren't italicized. None are bold. There's no glossary of terms, but there are 20 pages of references for the theoretical student who likes comm. theory enough to seek further reading.
It seems like it could be organized better, but maybe the authors structured it this way so that students can't skim it and find relevant information - but rather must read entire pages (unless they search with google books).
Much props to the author for not doing a new edition every year like many publishers are now, and hence letting a good used book market build up for it.

I am in college, I ordered this book the day my class started and a week later he is finally sending it. which means I won't get it until next week so I will have to read about 4 chapers. which isn't too bad if I did't have work and other classes.
