- Neal Pierce, Washington Post Writers Group


"What Nickel and Dimed did for the Wal-Mart worker, Mitchell does for the community threatened by mega-retailers."
-Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature


"Prodigiously researched, lucidly written."
- Marilyn Harris, Business Week SmallBiz


"A compelling indictment of Wal-Mart and other ‘big box' stores, based on numerous national examples."
