[.ca] Essential Frankfurt School Reader (ISBN 0826401945)

Excellent, but not as an introduction:
This book was my first exploration into the Frankfurt School; although it immediately struck a chord within me, I was unprepared for the scholarly vocabularly (classic sociology, etc.) expected of the reader. Advice to the bold, impetuous novice: if you read this book, begin with the essays themselves, not the editors' introductions.
