Credit - Mathew Timmons - Bog

CREDIT by Mathew Timmons. Blanc Press, September 2009. "Almost all of America's wealthiest citizens are poorer this year." CREDIT is an 800 page, large format, full color, hardbound book, released by Blanc Press in Los Angeles-the longest, most expensive book publishable through the online service, lulu.com. Divided into two sections, Part A: Credit-26 parts (a-z) and Part 2: Debit-10 parts (1-10), CREDIT is a highly revealing and emotional work chronicling a personal tale of credit. In late spring 2007 as an irrational exuberance and promise of financial fortune hung in the air, mailboxes were filled with generous and gracefully worded offers of credit. Just over two years later, in midsummer 2009, the shape of the financial environment changed radically and mailboxes still filled up with statements of credit. Something had to change, offer turned to obligation. Retailing for $199.99, CREDIT is a book the author himself lacks the cash or credit to buy.
