Product Description
Details:
Now a major ITV drama series starring Jeremy Piven and Katherine Kelly.
In 1909, the largest department store in London's West End, designed and built from scratch, opened in Oxford Street in a glorious burst of publicity. The mastermind behind the fa?ade was American retail genius Harry Gordon Selfridge: maverick businessman, risk-taker and one of the greatest showmen the retail world has ever known.
His talents were to create the seduction of shopping, and as his success and fame grew, so did his glittering lifestyle: mansions, yachts, gambling, racehorses - and mistresses.
From the glamour of Edwardian England, through the turmoil of the Great War and the heady excesses of the 1920s and beyond, Selfridges Department Store was 'a theater with the curtain going up at 9 o'clock each morning'.
Mr Selfridge reveals the captivating story of the rise and fall of the man who revolutionised the way we shop.
Ideal for:
A fantastic book for anyone who loves to shop! Perfect for fans of the incredible TV series.
This paperback book has 298 pages and measures: 19.7 x 12.8 x 2.2cm.
