Review

All chapters...demonstrate sound standards of academic scholarship. Recommended. (CHOICE)

The volume provides the most judicious and comprehensive treatment of contemporary campaign finance available. Readers will be hard-pressed to find a better collection of scholarly insights into modern campaign finance. (Political Science Quarterly)

This is a truly valuable book! I'd strongly recommend it to researchers and lay people interested in politics, as well as for classroom use. (Marjorie R. Hershey, Indiana University)
