Review:
Michael Miller ... is able to breathe life into İthe store's¨ ambitious owners and directors, pile its counter high with goods mundane and exotic, and people its aisles with obsequious clerks and glittering-eyed shoppers.... İHe¨ has written an absorbing study that can be read with pleasure by anyone interested in modern techniques of mass selling or in French culture before World War I. -- Jean T. Joughin "Business History Review"

From the Back Cover:
In this comprehensive social history of the Bon Marche, the Parisian department store that was the world's largest before 1914, Michael Miller explores the bourgeois identities, ambitions, and anxieties that the new emporia so vividly dramatized. Through an original interpretation of paternalism, public images, and family-firm relationships, he shows how this new business enterprise succeeded in reconciling traditional values with the coming of an age of mass consumption and bureaucracy.
