I'm really glad I picked this book up while at my local bookstore.

Though the writing is fairly academic, the author does such a great job of rounding out all of this research and making it palatable for a general audience. I enjoyed learning more about this town two hours from where I'm living.

Definitely would recommend for anyone interested in learning about sex work or the economies of mining towns. I find myself drawn to books about mining communities while living in the West and think books like Selling Sex in the Silver Valley allow me to have a better understanding of the history of this place.
