En muy buen estado
Libro que se ha leído y que no tiene un aspecto nuevo, pero que está en un estado excelente. No hay desperfectos visibles en la tapa y se incluye sobrecubierta, si procede, para las tapas duras. Todas las páginas están en perfecto estado, sin arrugas ni roturas y no falta ninguna. El texto no está subrayado ni resaltado de forma alguna, y no hay anotaciones en los márgenes. Puede presentar marcas de identificación mínimas en la contraportada o las guardas. Muy poco usado. Consulta el anuncio del vendedor para obtener más información y la descripción de cualquier posible imperfección.

Reviews
I'd like people to know that we're not stupid. Our decisions are not made, nor our lives, lived in a vacuum. It's not like we're choosing to eat utter crap instead of quinoa. It's that we've just worked eighteen solid hours and we still need to clean the house and we're due back at work in eight hours and cooking takes sleep time. It's the dopamine thing again. You know in So I Married An Axe Murderer , when the dad talks about how The Colonel puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes you crave it fortnightly, smartass? That's actually true. Humans can become addicted to the food of the poor. We aren't dumb, we know this. We just don't have the energy to fight it and real food is expensive and time-consuming. And we don't have the luxury of vanity; we know it'll make us fat, but why on earth would we care? Are we going to suddenly become less marginalized if we are a size 12 instead of 20? Is that a thing that keeps the rent paid? No? Then we don't care.

Synopsis
One of the Best 5 Books of 2014 - Esquire "I've been waiting for this book for a long time. Well, not this book, because I never imagined that the book I was waiting for would be so devastatingly smart and funny, so consistently entertaining and unflinchingly on target. In fact, I would like to have written it myself if, that is, I had lived Linda Tirado's life and extracted all the hard lessons she has learned. I am the author of Nickel and Dimed, which tells the story of my own brief attempt, as a semi-undercover journalist, to survive on low-wage retail and service jobs. Tirado is the real thing." -from the foreword by Barbara Ehrenreich, New York Times bestselling author of Nickel and Dimed We in America have certain ideas of what it means to be poor. Linda Tirado, in her signature brutally honest yet personable voice, takes all of these preconceived notions and smashes them to bits. She articulates not only what it is to be working poor in America (yes, you can be poor and live in a house and have a job, even two), but what poverty is truly like-on all levels. Frankly and boldly, Tirado discusses openly how she went from lower-middle class, to sometimes middle class, to poor and everything in between, and in doing so reveals why "poor people don't always behave the way middle-class America thinks they should." , One of the Best 5 Books of 2014 Esquire "I ve been waiting for this book for a long time.

- s***l (176)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaGreat sellers, I’ve purchased from them before and had a great buying experience, however for this purchase I was a little disappointed to find one of the camcorders broken during shipment, the box used was very thin and split open at one of the corners, other than that everything was as described
- 4***l (187)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThe book I ordered arrived in the mail and I couldn't be happier! It came just as described by the seller, barely used, if at all. The price was too good to pass up; the shipping was fast and packaged securely, as well. All in all, it was a pleasant experience. I would recommend this seller to anyone. Thank you!

There were plenty of photos showing the boots. They were as described. I knew what I was going to receive. The boots were packaged safe and sound. Shipping was excellent. I believe I got a good value for my dollar.
