dense and useful

This was a very hefty book which presented a wide number and variety of techniques used in industrial organization. There was a lot of information crammed into this book. There were some good real-world examples to illustrate their points throughout the text. They were able to present both the verbal concepts as well as the mathematical models together. The graphs were numerous and useful. Math presented within the text was not as easy to follow intuitively. Concrete examples were covered in class instead. Because of how much material this book covers, I would not consider it fun leisure reading for most, but would recommend it for classes, or at least some supplemental reading if you want to apply the models. Granted, I have not seen other books on industrial organization, but I thought this was a pretty good book on its own.
