A visual history of ten innovations that transformed the New York shopping experience

This eye-catching book, published to coincide with the exhibition Selling Style at the Museum of the City of New York, tells the story of the retail innovations that made shopping intrinsic to the fabric of New York City life, from the window display to the zero-waste store. It offers a nostalgic look back at the shopping experiences of yesteryear, while also pointing to ways in which brick-and-mortar retail can reinvent itself for the twenty-first century. Written by noted architecture and design curator Donald Albrecht, Selling Style is illustrated with over 130 items from the museum's incomparable collections. It will be essential reading for those on both sides of the counter.
