These kinds of books are part of the D&G market, and fortunately, Eugene Young, the editor, chose to seek assistance from a number of Deleuze and Guattari experts in order to fill out a number of aspects that might have been more threadbare without them. This volume is a rich and important resource for anyone seeking to understand in depth the D&G corpus.
