5.0 out of 5 stars A great book about a great merchant, his store and his city, June 19, 2003

This review is from: Give the Lady What She Wants: The Story of Marshall Field & Company (Paperback)

This is one of my favorite books. The text is clear, descriptive, and mesmerizes the reader with its storytelling. Inside these pages you will find how Marshall Field and his Company set the standard for retailing in Chicago and indeed the country, and also how the City of Chicago itself influenced the store. The histories of the city and the store are intertwined, and the authors do a wonderful job of explaining the uniqueness of this relationship.

You won't regret purchasing this book. I have read it many, many times over the past 15 years or so and I never tire of it!

Anyone from the midwest knows about The Marshall Field store in Chicago. This book is charming and leads the reader through a past that is no more and is sorely missed!
