Call of the Mall: The Geography of Shopping


by Paco Underhill
 

Before I actually started to read Call of the Mall, I was expecting a heavy-weight text filled with academic discussion. To my surprise, the book delivers a lighthearted but detailed portrait of the ‘mall’ today. From the cosmetics department to the food court, P Underhill uncovers many of the things they do right and wrong. A recommended read for anyone in the retail business!
