Glorious Text

Wonderful textbook, as far as textbooks go! Interesting font used throughout the book. Good quotes included and excellent reference material for further study. Had to buy it for my Master's level class and feel that I've learned a lot so far. Halfway through my semester upon writing this review. A must for a municipal manager!
