One of my favorite quotes from a retailer about the last edition of Specialty Shop Retailing is this one: โI have read, highlighted, marked up and re-read this book so many times it groans when I pick it up!โ Itโs been so much fun for me to hear from shopkeepers around the world about how helpful they have found the first three editions of my book, which sold over 40,000 copies and were translated into Russian. I am very happy to announce that the fourth edition has just been published as a ...
