Do not buy the kindle version! Just go to the dang site! I was on a vacation where I had poor internet and thought a little best of People of Walmart would pick me up. So I bought it, on Kindle. First, it loses a lot in the black and white. Second, the photos that made the book didn't seem any better than the average ones on the site. Third, it was over before it began, only took me about 30 minutes to get through it and/or get bored of it. Maybe as a coffee table it'd work out, but as a Kindle purchase no way!

Horible Picture Quality I love the website, but the pictures in this book are so low quality that they are difficult to even see. Don't waste your money, stick to the website.

Pretty good but not every photo is classic PoWM material. I enjoy People of Walmart, but just like on the site, some of the featured photos are not that funny. The book had many “classics” (like the back boobs photos, obnoxious t-shirts, scary hair, makeup and clothes, and Willy the Pimp) but some of the others were sort of meh. I assume that perhaps there were some rights issues with some of the photos (getting permission to publish) but I really don’t know. And some of the stories were not that outstanding either. (The story about the Subway employee reporting on the weird sandwich a customer ordered every day was my favorite.)I’d say that for me, perhaps 75% of the content was PoWM at its best.The thing is, I suspect that everyone who gets this book will have a different idea of *what* 75% (or whatever percentage they designate) is classic PoWM. So because of that, I’d say that for most fans of PoWM, this book has *enough* of the good stuff to make it worth buying, but don’t expect that every photo is a winner, because I don’t think it is.The book looks nice, with raised lettering on the cover and decent quality paper. (It doesn’t look shoddily made or cheap.)
