5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful glimpse of Atlanta history, November 13, 2004

Out of print but well worth finding used. A great look at the history of Rich's department store chain of Atlanta (and other southern cities). If you've ever ridden the Pink Pig, eaten at the Magnolia Room, or seen the lighting of the Great Tree, you will love this book. Folksy writing style with nostalgic black and white photos.

The book arrived very quickly and was very carefully packaged. Inside the book is a collection of great stories about a great store that should still be around. I'd like to add one more story about the loyalty of the Rich's customer: Many of Rich's patrons continued to shop at their favorite store even after Terry Lundgren ripped the name off the building and replaced it with macy's. However, one particular customer wrote out her check at the register to Rich's. The lady behind the counter reminded her that the store was now called macy's. She replied, "If you want my business, you'll take this check. You can call this store what you want, but it will ALWAYS be Rich's to me."
