Summary:

"This new book outlines the development of shop architecture, from the medieval market place through the specialist luxury shops and bazaars of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to the department stores, multiples and out-of-town shops that are familiar today. The book, beautifully illustrated with both contemporary and historic photographs, as well as engravings and specially commissioned drawings and plans, shows how shops catered for different markets at different times and illustrates the influences, ideas, and technology behind the various methods of displaying goods and planning both individual shops and huge retail parks."--Jacket
