Book Description
Everyone today takes shops for granted. Yet many types of shop are quite a modern development, and only recently displaced a tradition of travelling pedlars and local markets going back hundreds of years. The author surveys the changing world of Victorian retailing in the first part of the book, the fight for survival in the second part and concludes with newly collected reminiscences of people who worked in Edwardian shops.
