Just a short note to let you know how pleased I am with Pearson Custom Publishing and specifically, the Boundaries reader in Deviance, Crime, and Criminal Justice. I have been using the Boundaries reader in my sociology of deviance course for many years and am impressed with the diverse and most compelling compilation of both classical and contemporary articles that are available to me for inclusion in my customized book. The opportunity to select only those specific articles that I want my students to read and synthesize with the class lectures greatly enhances the academic pursuit. The support staff at Pearson Custom Publishing, has been professional, responsive, and most courteous in resolving any outstanding matter that I have encountered. This has been done in the most gracious, efficient and timely manner. My experience with Pearson Custom Publishing has been a most productive and successful one.
