'Political Marketing presents the birth, maturation, and continued growth of the field of political marketing through a collection of scholarly articles on a variety of political marketing topics... the collection of articles presented across the three volumes appears to be very well chosen. While they are just a sample of the scholarly work done in the field, the articles selected well represent how the field has developed and the current state of thought' - Lawrence O Hamer, DePaul University
