Super fun to read. I was very young when all of this happened but I know that there was a time where walmart and all of these super stores didn't exist (unbelievable, I know). Reading this book opens a window to the past and the author shares a piece of history with the reader. Very interesting book

I was great to go back to a time where department stores were a big deal, where people would meet on Sundays and spend the day browsing and buying.
I found myself laughing with all the funny stories the author shares in this very interesting book.

It was lovely to learn how things worked behind the scenes of the department stores and to know all of those juicy stories that the author shared in his book. The author did an awesome job, I felt like I was there
