A Great Guide Feb 21, 2009
By F Z Toklas
"A critical reader"
This is without a doubt the best guide around on the subject. From the author's organization of materials to the presentation of facts and anecdotal evidence, everything points to his first-hand experience and fluency in the subject matter. If for you retailing has little to do with psychology or other human behavioral principles, think again. The author explains it all in a very convincing way, which is at the heart of what makes this guide a cut above the rest: Mr Dion is not saying just trust me, this is how it goes. Instead he goes on a deep-dive on all key topics, from recruiting the right people to motivating the team, and provides the underlying principles and theories behind the strategies and tactics he proposes in the book. Amazing read, not to be missed!

Retail store May 06, 2011
By K.K.
My daughter is opening a women's clothing store, and although she has about 15 years of experience working in that field and knew much of what this book taught, it was still very helpful. It spans the years of retail with information that gives a big picture how this business works. Helpful lists to make you think through details. Lots of information, but very easy to read.

 Very informative and easy to read May 17, 2011
By J Cecil
"Jessica Cecil"
This book is really easy to read, and very informative. I want to start my own retail business some day, and this book had great reviews. I'm a young professional, so I wanted something I could relate to and this book definitely works for me. It's opened up my eyes to a lot of things I hadn't thought about and reminded me about things I had forgotten.
If you're interested in starting your own retail business, this is a great start. It inspired me to start my own Etsy shop so I could start getting the hang of things..check my shop out: [...]
Great book! I'm glad I bought it, and it will definitely be a resource for me!
