Re:Postrel desperate to reinvent herself (Score 2, Insightful)

I read the book last month and thought she missed her chance on writing a excellent essay by publishing a vacuous book. The quote from it Corey took is about the only observation in 200 pages I found noteworthy. While they're is plenty of room for analysis of the relationship between design and commerce, a better writer is needed than Postrel. And ironically, the book's dust jacket is very poorly designed.
