Public Opinion
New York: Harcourt Brace and Company, [1922]. First printing. Hardcover. 8 1/4 by 5 3/4 inches; 210 by 145 mm. 427 pages. Hardcover, bound in blue cloth, with publisher's blind stamp on front board; lacking the jacket. Good condition; wear at corners and at head and tail of spine; paper spine label browned on the right edge and chipped, though with no loss of text; pages age-toned; one passage, on p. 89, enclosed by a previous owner in ink brackets, with two small arrows in the margins to point out the passage. A landmark work on the intersection of politics and media, and an influence on people ranging from Edward Bernays, the "father of public relations," to Noam Chomsky, who borrowed Lippmann's phrase "manufacturing consent" for the title of one of his best-known books.
