Review
Reading Retail is, quite simply, a stunningly accessible undergraduate text ... destined to be the core text for many courses.
Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie,
This is an engaging, somewhat unconventional text ... it contains within it the sense of interest and excitement too often lost in conventional textbooks ... I expect it to become the key text on the subject in geography.
Urban Studies, Volume 40, page 861
