Book Overview

Where bagels are king, Twinkies don't flourish. And Alaskans buy fewer home pregnancy tests, but they're better-than-average book purchasers. What's it mean? With this remarkable atlas of marketing surveys, you can make a case for almost anything.

Time and Place for Everything - How about a Sequel?

I've had this book for over ten years and still flip through it. When I recently moved, it now sits on the coffee table for anyone of interest.

Loved it!

Great info. A fun and creative way to look at market profiles. Only problem is that an update is needed as my copy was published in 1994, pre-Internet, etc.

Why a book so good can be out of print so soon?

Michael Weiss's earlier book, The Clustering of America, was a very enlighting look on the social settings of America. It was tops, but he even did one better with LATITUDES & ATTITUDES. I have walls covered with books but this is one of the most coveted books of my guests once they open it. It is a reference book that you return to over and over. Bless Michael and all his loved ones!
