"Toxic Sludge" on Amazon's Must-Read List

By Anne Landman

CMD founder John Stauber and Sheldon Rampton's landmark 1995 book, "Toxic Sludge is Good for You! Lies, Damn Lies and the Public Relations Industry," has made Amazon.com's list of the top ten books everyone should read. Forty-five customer reviews give Toxic Sludge an average rating of four and a half stars (out of five). Thirty-three reviewers give it a five-star rating. One reviewer commented that "This book has changed my view of the world." Several call it "eye opening." One said Toxic Sludge is Good for You was "one of the top five most important books in my lifetime." Increasing corporate influence and ever-stealthier lobbying and propaganda techniques make this book more relevant than ever. You can buy the book directly from CMD, or new copies are also available at Amazon from $8.21, and used copies are available for $4.72 and up. This book is an absolute must-read for PRWatch fans! You can also keep up on the latest toxic sludge scams at SourceWatch's Toxic Sludge portal.
