Short and covers a range of issues facing sex workers. Felt at times like the author was not willing to make her own opinions known which kind of watered down some of the points being made.

poeticsinglemama's review against another edition
She talks in circles and the text is so full of typos I'm not sure how it ever got published! When I read "men who by sex" it was the last straw and I couldn't keep reading.

The book raises interesting points, but often failed to flesh them out into anything more than assertions, which should not be confused with arguments. Meh.
Something I did appreciate from the book was the closer look taken at many studies whose results are oft-quoted but seldom examined in other feminist theory/writings. For example: dismantling the "research" used to back varying claims that Craigslist was responsible for the increased sex trafficking of underage girls in some US states.

great analysis that refocuses discussions around sex work on labour policy and self-representation
