Reviews
"This stunning collection of essays and sources is indispensable for the study of popular culture. Jim Cullen knows more about the subject than anyone, and this second edition gives us a sweeping vision of the making and meaning of American popular culture." -- Louis P. Masur, Rutgers University "This book is the place to start if you're fascinated by the history of popular culture in America. It's an enlightening exploration into what people read, watched, joked about, listened to, danced to, and imagined in America's past." -- Bruce Dorsey, Swarthmore College "Cullen's outstanding collection helps readers understand the significance of key cultural changes, ranging from the movies to the web. Groundbreaking essays as well as insight into how historians work make this a valuable volume." -- Lizabeth Cohen, author of A Consumers' Republic: The Politics of Mass Consumption in Postwar America

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
