Sobre este artículo
New York : Delacorte Press, 1976. Book. Fair to Good. Hardcover. Inscribed & Signed by Author. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. In this 2nd printing of the 1st edition, Postman "tries to make visible the structure and causes of stupid talk and crazy talk -- two of the oldest nemeses of the human race. Quite simply, stupid talk is language that does not achieve its purposes because of the inappropriateness of its tone or vocabulary or assumptions. It is talk that does not work. Crazy talk is talk that usually does work but, in working, promotes purposes that are unreasonable, or overwhelmingly trivial, or even evil." Inscribed on first end paper ("To Steve--/Best Wishes,/Neil Postman"). Red cloth w/black cloth backstrip w/gilt spine lettering, 269 pages (including an autobibliography, index). Strongly cocked, worn corners/spine ends, spine lettering off-centred (printing flaw), some edgewear, previous owner's name to front pastedown, edgeworn dust jacket w/short edge tears, strongly sunned (still legible) spine, some chipping to corners/spine ends..
