From the Back Cover:

Clean, simple, smart, and efficient, VangoBooks represent a very different type of textbook–one that students will actually want to read. Created with the philosophy of quality over quantity, each VangoBook can be read in approximately 20 hours–that’s roughly one hour per chapter. By partnering with authors who understand exactly what students need to learn, and precisely what instructors need to teach–no more, no less–VangoBooks and their ancillary materials present compelling content in an attractive format without the sticker shock.
