I'd better begin by making an admission. I hate shopping. I buy new clothes when I'm bullied into it and internet grocery shopping was designed with me in mind, so my immediate reaction to this book was that the title was an oxymoron and it was unlikely that I would find much joy between these covers. I was more than pleasantly surprised and that's down to the skill of the editor, Jill Foulston.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending this book to The Bookbag.
If you are interested in the factual aspects of shopping then Bookbag can recommend Joanna Blythman's book [[Shopped]] which details the shocking power of the British supermarkets. For a history of one particular shop we think you would definitely enjoy [[The Rise and Fall of Marks and Spencer - and How It Rose Again]] by Judy Bevan. If shopping in fiction is your thing then you can do no better than the [[Shopaholic]] series by Sophie Kinsella. Jill Foulston also translated [[The Murdered Banker by Augusto De Angelis and Jill Foulston (translator)|The Murdered Banker by Augusto De Angelis]].
