4.0 out of 5 stars Nice selections. Great editing, April 19, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Readings for Sociology, Sixth Edition (Paperback)
There are some good readings in here. I believe that some of them have been edited down for content, which works. For a book that I had to read it is pretty enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great readings, September 3, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Readings for Sociology, Sixth Edition (Paperback)
As a reader, Massey has a ton of variety in his selection of articles. Many of them kept my interest, which - as a college student - isn't that easy to keep. Interesting viewpoints in articles too.

I received the product I purchased on time. Product was what I expected, although there was a large sticker on the cover of the book. Despite this minor detail, the product was in great shape.
