Great content, poor binding August 17, 2006
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.
