Product Description
Review
"'Kathryn Morrison's book, the outcome of research carried out within English Heritage, provides the best survey yet of this building type in England, which will prove valuable for reference and for thinking about the wider implications of retailing in relation to architecture, urbanism, and conservation.' Alan Powers, Architects Journal 'A magnificent architectural history of the nation's shops, from their medieval market place beginnings to today's super malls and beyond.' Katie Campbell, Evening Standard 'This is my kind of book. Wonderfully fascinating, detailed and knowledgeable, clear-eyed, written in plain English and with every illustration relevant... The best thing about Morrison's book is that it steers absolutely clear of sentiment or nostalgia.' Hugh Pearman, Sunday Times 'A scholarly and loving study... lavishly illustrated.' Paul Barker, Times Literary Supplement"

Looking back at our shopping ways you rediscover the old favourites...Woolco, Timothy Whites etc. One let down - more info on the lost great London department stores would have been great - BUT this is an excellent coffee table book.
Listmania!
