It's been out of print for god KNOWS how long, and is a VERY popular book among social psychologists (like me). It was originally published in 1957 by I think Yale University Press, although it may have been Stanford U.P.

I AM SOOOO FUCKING HAPPY TO FINALLY OWN THIS BOOK!!! Seeing as Cognitive Dissonance Theory is the FOUNDATION of my theory...that, and the Frustration Aggression Hypothesis as proposed by Dollard, Doob, Miller, Mowrer, and Sears, but I already own their book Frustration and Aggression, which was originally published in 1939 and is also out of print, though, while also popular, is not NEARLY as popular as Festinger's book.

GAWD, I am so fucking happy....!!!!!!
