Kimberly Webber, Ian Hoskins & Joy McCann - What's in Store

Australia has a proud and colourful retail heritage. From hawkers’ vans and the corner store to elegant city department stores and the mega mall, shops have been at the heart of European settlement across the continent. Beautifully illustrated, what’s in store? takes you behind the counter and looks at the factors that have shaped Australia retailing - new goods and new customs, the development of specialist shops, changes in locality and technology.
