This was the wrong book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I wanted the 7th edition and got the 6th. Probably my fault, so anyway the editions are very similar and from what I've read so far, the book is very informative. It has many inserts giving detailed examples to help with understanding key concepts. If you want a good understanding of how American cities work, this is a book for you.
Good Purchase

This book was in brand new condition. Only criticism is the long wait to get it. Other than that, great purchase. Thanks
