		Ever After, Kingsbury’s sequel to Even Now, has to be one of the most touching stories I have ever read.
		One of my favorite things about a Kingsbury novel is the voice that she uses when her characters communicate with God.
		Kingsbury’s books remind me that it is only when I commit Scripture to memory that God can use Scripture to speak to me. Ever After is a great example of why Kingsbury is known as “America’s favorite inspirational novelist.” — Brandi Webster, Christian Book Previews.com

	Universal Service: Competition, Interconnection and Monopoly in the Making of the American Telephone System
		Mueller's narrative moves from the early days of the Bell monopoly through the years of dual service competition between the Bell system and independents, the Kingsbury Commitment and the advent of state monopoly franchise regulation, and the consolidation of the Bell System, to the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
		Mueller does a good job of clearly and concisely explaining economic concepts like demand side economies of scope and scale, network externalities and natural monopoly, in the process making a strong case that local telephone service has never been a natural monopoly.
		The explanation and analysis of the Kingsbury Commitment, the 1913 compact between the Bell System and the federal government which called on Bell to slow down the acquisition of independent telecos and offer limited interconnection to competitors, is the most fully-documented interpretation of this seminal event I have seen.

		Coming at a time of unprecedented consolidation of the modern industrial age corporation and state, it clearly marked a turning point in the role that government played in economic life.
