Starbucked will be the first book to explore the incredible rise of the Starbucks Corporation and the caffeine-crazy culture that fueled its success. Part Fast Food Nation, part Bobos in Paradise, Starbucked combines investigative heft with witty cultural observation in telling the story of how the coffeehouse movement changed our everyday lives, from our evolving neighborhoods and workplaces to the ways we shop, socialize, and self-medicate.

In Starbucked, Taylor Clark provides an objective, meticulously reported look at the volatile issues like gentrification and fair trade that distress activists and coffee zealots alike. Through a cast of characters that includes coffee-wild hippies, business sharks, slackers, Hollywood trendsetters and more, Starbucked explores how America transformed into a nation of coffee gourmets in only a few years, how Starbucks manipulates psyches and social habits to snare loyal customers, and why many of the things we think we know about the coffee commodity chain are false.

Fabrics Great, Size a little Big, Overall Pretty Good
Size: Medium, Color: Dark Navy
This suit was truly great, the size for the pants and the vest were pretty on point, maybe a little long for the pants. The jacket was way too big though compared to the rest. Overall pretty good suit for the price, very surprised at the build quality and faabrics.

Nice pants.
Color: Deep Gray, Size: 10
These are nice pants for a boot to wear to a formal event. I got these for my son to wear to a wedding. They fit him good and he said they were comfortable. The material seems decent for the price. He wore them one before out growing them but that is expected with kids.

Baggy hips
Color: Light Gray, Size: 6, Color: Light Gray, Size: 6
These gray dress pants don't fit perfectly but the size range it so wide that it's expected. My 5yr old is tall for his age but he's thin with a small waist. Pants made with adjustable waists are ideal if we get them long enoughlike a 6 or 7. There biggest flaw in these pants is that the sides (or thigh areas) are so baggy the form a weird pouch. Much like most pants heel probably outgrow the length before he can fill in the hip and waist areas. Other than that, the color is a soft gray. The material is thin but it irons quickly. It's overall quality used fair so if your kid is average height and weight, this might fit perfectly.
