    Hello, all-- <br>
    <br>
    <i>Repair Work Ethnographies</i> looks like it could be a wonderful
    work, but Palgrave has it on the market for $96.00 (Kindle for
    $94.00). Such a prohibitive cost means that it won't make course
    lists or even personal bookshelves any time soon, and it will even
    be a tough sell for libraries. I've never understood the logic of
    such a pricing strategy. <br>

            Bringing together exemplary ethnographies of repair work
            around the world, it examines the politics of repair, its
            work settings and intricate networks, in and across a wide
            range of situations, lay and professional. The book
            evidences the topical relevance of situated inquiry into
            breakdown, repair, and maintenance for engaging with the
            contemporary world more broadly. Airplanes and artworks,
            bicycles and buildings, cars and computers, medical devices
            and mobile phones, as virtually any commodity,
            infrastructure or technical artifact, have in common their
