Review:

"This is one of the most well-written and complete texts on Texas government that I have read in the last eight to ten years." "I was most impressed with the factual statistics provided and the manner in which they are presented, mostly through the use of the tables and figures."

"This is one of the most readable textbooks on Texas government out there" "The essays at the end of each chapter are excellent"
