Title: Emerging Republican Majority
Post by: True Democrat on April 08, 2006, 12:29:57 PM
Where can I find it for cheap?  Everywhere I look, it's at least ninety dollars.  Does anyone know any discount book sellers or anything?

There's a copy at abebooks.com (http://dogbert.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=697099636&searchurl=sts%3Dt%26y%3D12%26tn%3DEmerging%2BRepublican%2BMajority%26x%3D27) that costs only $38.50.  It is the cheapest price out there that I can find.  Buy it while you still can.

I would recommend against abebooks.com; they have a bad history (http://www.resellerratings.com/seller_info.pl?seller_id=2814).

What?

...of that book. Or an excerpt. Whatever. I own a book, printed in the mid-70s, with several texts by US historians, mostly abridged versions of books of theirs. One is an abridged version of The Emerging Republican Majority, and believe you me it's one of the less insightful, and one of the least scholarly written articles in that book. THough it has its merits, it suffers from the fact that the author clearly couldn't decide whether he was writing a scientific text or a pep rally speech.

He wants to buy it, not just borrow it.

Well, then I'm afraid he'll have to either risk dealing with his credit card company and possibly not getting the book or shell out the full cost...

Alternatively, unless he plans on reading it a whole hell of a lot, he can just read a library copy, which is why I suggested that...

Why is the book so expensive?

Check it out from the library, and photocopy it.

Out of print.

It's a fantastic book, and has a ludicrous amount of election history and analysis.

Don't know where you can find it, though. :P

I got it from the library, but I only got half way through it before I had to return it.  Very interesting though.
