    Nodes represent books about US politics sold by the online bookseller     
    Amazon.com.  Edges represent frequent co-purchasing of books by the same  
    buyers, as indicated by the "customers who bought this book also bought   
    these other books" feature on Amazon.                                     
                                                                              
    Nodes have been given values "l", "n", or "c" to indicate whether they are
    "liberal", "neutral", or "conservative".  These alignments were assigned  
    separately by Mark Newman based on a reading of the descriptions and      
    reviews of the books posted on Amazon.
