Dude, who even knows.

Checking out some books by my favorite professor Stuart Blumin on Amazon and that mass audience does not seem the best for reviewing this sort of stuff – boors who sought out some frankly deep cuts to trot out their stock complaints of liberal perfessers (he’s from a laborite Old Left tradition that predates even the New Left of the 1960s, and fairly spry and unthudding and healthily accepting when things didn’t turn out his way honestly), or who just don’t understand academic publishing – yes, it’s a little repetitive and focused, it’s essentially a repackaging of several previous papers, there’s only one or two sections even undergraduate upperclassmen would read, and the people who would care about the sections where he keeps hammering his particular focus would bring a lot more context to appreciate the significance of its subtleties
