1.0 out of 5 stars This book is superficial., September 8, 2004

This review is from: The Trend Commandments: Turning Cultural Fluency Into Marketing Opportunity (Hardcover)
I bought this book hoping it would provide an eye-opening look at American society. Instead, all it provided was a superficial glimpse of the obvious. To his credit, the author covers a plethora of product categories, but the coverage of each is remarkably light--a snapshot at best.
