Reviews are somewhat superfluous in light of the fact that this is a textbook and thus you probably don't have any choice about buying it, as was the case with me. Nonetheless, as textbooks go, I'd have to say I enjoyed this one quite a bit more than most. It's remarkably up-to-date, which is vital in media studies (there will undoubtedly be a 6th edition very soon), and it's a very fast and engaging read. The author doesn't always keep his liberal agenda well hidden, but that is perhaps forgiveable in an age of increasingly conserative media. On the whole, this stands a better chance than most of being a textbook that you actually keep rather than trying to cash in as soon as the course is over. I kept mine.

Mandatory textbook for a journalism class I took. Very informative and honest, it really exposes mass culture in a way that is easy for most college students to understand.

This is like no other textbook I've ever read! It's accessible, beautifully written and it's finger is clearly on the pulse of what's now in media and culture. Bravo!

I have been using Amazon.com for all my textbook orders for over 3 years and have always found the books I needed. Media & Culture is no exception. This is a great book; easy to understand, great examples, and relevant. I purchased the text for a Communications class and have been very satisfied with the informaiton it has provided.

Came in good shape, came on time. However, if you're going to sell the teacher's edition, it should likely be mentioned? Regardless, it served its purpose.

im so glad i came to amazon to buy this book. not only did i save money but the book was in great condition and much cheaper than the one at my actual school

Book arrived in great time but the quality was not up to par as expected (excessive markings in pages and deteriorating cover were not as advertised) and several pages were missing.

It's in good shape - there were some stickers on it that were peeling off when I got it, but no problems with writing in the book. I'd get a book from this seller again.

This book is very interesting. Is fun to read and not boring at all.
I really enjoy it.

i dont know if this is going to the person that sold me the product but i would like to say thank you for the textbook. its 100% intact and the binder that you put with it is great. thank you so much.
