    Fascinating history of the “Department Store”
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2023*

Even if you haven’t watched Mr. Selfridge on PBS, the history of everything we experience out shopping in department stores will knock your socks off. It is a delight in seeing how shopping as we know it evolved over time. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!!

    Transforming shopping and British retailing
  

*by Y***2 on Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2019*

Harry Gordon Selfridge had already made his mark in American retailing at Marshall Fields. He wanted to go it alone or at least as a partner. Maybe America was too small for Harry. He had ginormous dreams an he acted on them! He was a kid and Oxford Street, London was his playground. He promised to change shopping forever, and he did.Woodhead did an excellent job of portraying early -20th century life in America and in Britain. The main difference was shopping. In America, merchandise was on display. No one pressured customers to buy. In London, gloomy floorwalkers patrolled the shops hoping to evict the "riff-raff. Selfridge changed that; he made shopping a respectable past time for the upper class woman.Alas, Harry had his vices: gambling and women. Both were expensive and cost him dearly. He lost control of the empire he built and he lost his legacy. Gordon, Jr. shared his father's love of expensive hobbies, but without the means to support them. His daughters were not close.In many ways the story of Selfridges, the store and Selfridge, the man is a thrilling and exciting journey. It called to mind the days of shopping at Marshall Fields in the 1950s. What a grand place! I am sure if I had gone to London, Selfridges would have been grander still.

    A great history of Selfridge, department stores, Britain, shopping, and the rise of the middle class
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2014*

If you like the show, I think you will like this book. This book is a history of Harry Selfridge and his eponymous department store, but it is also a history of shopping, fashion, Britain, the rise of the middle class, and the dramatic economic and political changes that occurred in Britain during the first third of the twentieth century. I absolutely loved it.There are some huge differences between the book and the show, so definitely do not go into the book with expectations of reading about some of the characters in the show. Rose Selfridge (Harry's wife) actually plays a very small role in the book, as compared to her big role in the show. Similarly, some of the other characters in the show are really amalgamations of many people. However, the overall themes of the show absolutely ring true. Selfridge really was an unfailingly positive man with an eye for detail and huge dreams, though he suffered from a crippling gambling addiction and was a compulsive philanderer. And Selfridge did revolutionize shopping.The book is very fast and enthralling read, combining information about macro global changes (like the changing role of women in society, the decline of the British aristocracy, World War I, etc) with details about Selfridge's personal and professional lives. I thought the author was also unbiased. She presented Selfridge as a man with incredible business sense who at the same time could not manage his own personal finances and had a weakness for gold-digging women. It's one of the best non-fiction books I have read in awhile, and I highly, highly recommend it.
