This review is from: The Privatization of Roads And Highways: Human And Economic Factors (Hardcover)
This book, as with Walter Block's other works, is incisive, compelling, and very readable. Unfortunately, Edwin Mellen Press has typeset, printed, and bound the book in a slipshod manner which can only be described as appalling. Many readers have run into expensive volumes published by academic publishers, but this one takes the cake:
-the cloth used for the hardcover on this new book (2006) already looks old and weather-beaten -my copy literally had a curved spine with the cloth improperly attached (immediately visible to any bibliophile or even non-bibliophile) -the images on the front and back cover are distorted/pixelated -the images on the front of the book look to be taken from an early-nineties clip art collection -the actual innards of the book are of low-quality paper -the MS Word-esque layout and formatting of the text reminds one of early print-on-demand books, with text that is too small and with too much spacing This book is chock-full of amazing, fascinating content, but brace yourself for disappointment at the shoddy job by the printer/bindery on this book that is going for over $100 as I write this. I recommend this book to those interested in the subject matter, but others may want to spend their time praying for a second edition whose binding quality matches the quality of the content within.
