Well I am currently reading away at this so as to review it for the next Class War.
What do people think of the book.
Good, bad or ugly?

just got this - on first glance it looks pretty well-informed and with some pretty well-developed theory.
It's also got a really good review of it on the back cover - by Class War!

The cover looks like it could be a "antiques & collectables" stall at the bookfair.

Some places seem to be selling it (I am sure it was being sold on Amazon b4!) and John seemed to get a copy from somewhere.
Anyway my point still stands - why not read the book before you judge it?

that link to bourgeois university piece was written over 10 years ago, so I think it's a bit harsh to judge based on that.
And, yes, I did get it from Amazon - which is strange if they aren't now selling it until Oct. (maybe ran out of copies?)
