{"product_id":"9781610359917","title":"The Great American Shopping Experience","description":"A fun, nostalgic look at the great American stores of yesteryear and their rise and fall. The wealthy and leisured lady of the 1920s shopped in a palatial downtown department store with a restaurant, beauty parlour, movie theatre, and live orchestra -- the harried suburban mom of today rushes her purchases through the self-checkout at the big box store. THE GREAT AMERICAN SHOPPING EXPERIENCE explains how this transformation happened in a fascinating and entertaining history of the growth and decline of Americas massive retail empires. A popular history that is both fun and compelling, this is an epic story of capitalisms powers of creative destruction and the repeated transformation of American society.","brand":"Linden Publishing (US)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65427104334173,"sku":null,"price":19.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781610359917.jpg?v=1789396829","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9781610359917","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
