Reviews
"This volume ought to be required reading for every American young and old."-- Governor William Winter, Chairman Emeritus of the Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation, "When I covered federal courts in Washington at the foot of Capitol Hill, I read The Words We Live By all the time. When I stopped covering the courts, I still read it all the time. Smart, informed, witty--just the way everyone wants to sound when discussing the Constitution."-- Neely Tucker, staff writer, Washington Post, "A book for 'We the People' of all ages--wonderfully simple but never simplistic, brimming with profound and provocative ideas."-- Akhil Reed Amar, Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science, Yale University, "The U.S. Constitution gets a comprehensive overview in this engaging blend of history and commentary. Monk . . . traces the history and consequences of each part of this vital document in a line-by-line analysis of the original seven articles and the 27 amendments. She also gives even-handed but lively accounts of the debates over such Constitutional controversies as the right to bear arms, the right to privacy, church-state separation, and capital punishment."-- Citation for Chief of Staff of the Air Force 2012 Reading List, "Finally, a book that presents all sides of constitutional issues."-- Linda Chavez, Chairman of the Center for Equal Opportunity and FOX News Channel contributor, "Linda Monk takes us on a lively and learned exploration of the document that underlies not only how we Americans govern ourselves but how we make sense of the world. Anyone reading The Words We Live By will finish it with a greater understanding of the Constitution and a new respect for how it has secured freedom and self-government for the last two centuries."-- Steve Chapman, syndicated columnist, Chicago Tribune, "I have never before seen so clear an explanation of what's in the Constitution and why. Monk has provided a service to the nation that should earn her a Presidential Medal of Freedom."-- Nat Hentoff, Pulitzer Prize finalist and Senior Fellow, Cato Institute, "A wonderfully accessible yet deeply insightful guide to our Constitution that should be read and enjoyed by a wide audience of old and young alike."-- Doris Kearns Goodwin, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, "For a fine guide to the full context of today's Constitution, read The Words We Live By: Your Annotated Guide to the Constitution by the scholar Linda R. Monk, which labors to provide inclusive context, including materials on "outsiders" to the Constitution such as Native American people."-- The Atlantic, "[Linda Monk] captures just the right blend of history and current events to help us understand why the Constitution is America's cornerstone of freedom."-- Charles Overby, Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper editor and Chairman of the Overby Center of Southern Journalism and Politics

The book is brand new, just as described. The price was reasonable. Shipping was fast, and tracking was provided.
Unlike other sellers who REFUSE to leave feedback unless the buyer leaves feedback first, this seller left feedback immediately upon payment. THIS is how it should be.

Item is just as described and in pristine condition. Packaged extremely well. Thank you!! I would buy from the seller again. But be aware, processing and shipping is a lengthy process and you aren’t likely to get your item in under a week. But did arrive in the stated delivery window. Now, knowing that it will take time to arrive, this book was so clean and nice, I will buy from the seller again. Patience is a good skill to cultivate.
