The book has a particularly strong databasse. . The author worked in several jobs collecting information, and interviewed many people working elsewhere which then produced this study which is chiefly on the sociology of networks of exchange of pilfered items. It offers a unique readable (and sometimes humorous) venture into all the crooks and nannies of amateur 'fencing'.the best available book on this topic." .The book is in as new condition except for some very slight wear around edges, thus a 'very good' designation. Shelf wear.
