From the reviews:

"The author, Richard McKenzie, does a popping-good job showing readers why they should buy his book. … since his book is about hidden truths in marketing and he demonstrates the popcorn truth so well, you definitely get a feel … to buy this book." (Beneath the Cover, June, 2008)

"Richard McKenzie takes the reader through the conundrums of pricing --why are there after-Christmas sales, why do new cars instantly lose so much value … and how does subsidized university housing burden the university in unforeseen ways. And, of course, why popcorn costs so much at the movies. Fun but also illuminating on the power of markets to value your time and the products and services you purchase. Why Popcorn Costs So Much At the Movies, And Other Pricing Puzzles makes pricing theory interesting!" (Hugh Hewitt, June, 2008)

"Richard McKenzie’s book, Why Popcorn Costs So Much at the Movies, and other pricing puzzles, is out. … It looks like a good microeconomics primer to me – a nice mix of thoughtful price theory and contemporary examples." (The Undercover Economist, June, 2008)

"In this book, McKenzie covers an eclectic range of topics, looking at strange pricing phenomena and their consequences. … this will be an interesting read." (Andy Ridgway, BBC Focus, Summer, 2008)

"The first place/time I heard of this book was on the EconTalk podcast … . Dr. Tyler Cowen recommends the book as well. … provides a solid grounding on the ‘why’ of prices. Why are they so important, why must we get them ‘right?’ … The treatment of ‘free’ items such as ink-jet printers was excellent, and possibly worth the price of the book itself. … In short, a solid book that I enjoyed more than I expected to." (Amateur Economist, August, 2008)

"This is an interesting book and a good read. The level is not technical and is similar to some of the recent crop of popular economics writings … . What differentiates this book is its ideology: markets and people are rational." (Huw Dixon, Times Higher Education, July, 2008)

"McKenzie uses clear economic reasoning to explain many aspects of pricing that are otherwise puzzling. He even uses reasoning about prices to show that the federal government’s rules for getting on airplanes have caused more deaths than the terrorists … . … He uses economics to analyze the issues deeply and presents a more balanced view of the incentives and motivations of sellers. … McKenzie’s Popcorn is a welcome antidote to Freakonomics." (David R. Henderson, Regulation, Vol. 31 (3), Fall, 2008)

"In his most recent book, entitled `Why Popcorn Cost So Much at the Movies, and Other Pricing Puzzles,' ... Richard McKenzie explains this conundrum as well as other pricing mysteries. ... Overall I enjoyed this book ... . Mckenzie's writing style graciously makes this book effortless to read and comprehend. ... I would recommend this book to anyone seeking to gain a greater understanding of how basic economics principals can accurately explain pricing enigmas in our everyday lives." (Keegan Hall's Infamous Blog, December, 2008)

"The book Why Popcorn Costs So Much at the Movies is an academic book wrapped in a populist title. It provides insight into a variety of pricing mysteries … . it is useful for anyone involved in pricing a product. … The book touches upon social issues and the unintended consequences of pricing. … With a variety of topics, it has something for students and professionals … . " (The Viodi View, January, 2009)

"Written by an economist for smart people, Popcorns unpacks pricing puzzles taken from real life, from the age-old debate over ending a price in a 9 to charging $10 for a bucket of movie theater popcorn. … To an entrepreneur facing the mystery of setting prices, this book contains a wealth of important ideas." (Inc, January, 2009)

"Pricing makes the economic go’ round. … Professor McKenzie does a good job of tackling this complexity head on, and anyone whose job is remotely connected to pricing will benefit from reading this book. Consumers who are curious about the prices they pay … and how they got that way are likely to enjoy this book as well. … McKenzie’s writing is engaging and readable. … this is a must read book for anyone who deals with pricing." (The Customer Knowledge Advantage, May, 2009)

"Of all the good books I’ve read recently, the best so far is probably Why Popcorn Costs So Much at the Movies and Other Pricing Puzzles by Richard McKenzie. … The book looks at a large number of pricing puzzles and … provide rational explanations for why they might be the case. … McKenzie … illustrate the possible ways to resolve these puzzles. … I recommend this book to anyone and everyone who is … interested in understanding economics as the science of making decisions." (Diversified Interests, July, 2009)

“This book illustrates pricing puzzles … and provides alternative reasoning based on sources in either rational (e. g. opportunity cost, experience/network goods, market/information uniformity, sales prediction) or non-rational (e. g. regulation, politics, psychology) economics. Presented as a sequence of puzzles and discussions/answers, this is a thought provoking book. I highly recommend.” (Raresaint, March, 2010)

From the reviews:

"Causality of Psychological Injury: Presenting Evidence in Court is an edited volume with chapters that are not only informative but also well written. The references that I sampled are relevant, useful, and probably as current as any could be in a nonelectronic book … . surely heightens its educational value to clinical and forensic practitioners and should shape corresponding professional thinking and praxis." (Richard W. Bloom, PsycCritiques, Vol. 52 (37), 2007)
"I was delighted to find a concise summary of why third party observers should not be allowed during the course of a forensic neuropsychological examination, touching on such seminal issues as proper test administration, norms, ethical issues as well as legal precedents prohibiting this practice. The summary was so well done. … This information was also quite helpful in formulating the expert affidavit … . I found this volume to be responsive to some very different dilemmas I encountered in my civil practice." (Jerid M. Fisher, Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology, December, 2007)
"Causality of Psychological Injury … addresses issues pertinent to psychological assessment in personal injury cases in a well-organized, comprehensive, and authoritative manner. … The writing is clear and concise, and is useful for both those who wish to expand their practice into this area of forensic psychology, as well as the more experienced forensic psychologist or psychiatrist … . Causality of Psychological Injury fills a serious gap in the forensic psychological literature … . I recommend it without reservation." (Eric G. Mart, Psychological Injury and Law, Vol. 1, 2008)
