Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, June 2012.

Ultimately, Popp contends, the selling of tourism in postwar America played an early, integral role in the shift toward lifestyle marketing, an experiential service economy, and contributed to escalating levels of social inequality." -- dust jacket.
