The Monocle Guide to Shops, Kiosks and Markets (Monocle Book Collection): A Handbook for Shoppers, Would-be-retailers, Neighbourhood-makers and Brands in Need of a Fix.

As always with Monocle it's got some insight, albeit predictable. As with Monocle's fashion tips, everything is mainstream... lame titles as "books and gentrification", self evident ones as "follow the leader" (the help section 20 steps for setting up shop are too obvious) . Well travelled, some not well researched, it ends up being: who's in and who's left out...

Good case studies for retail design, really like the graphics, good explanation and easier understanding.

A shot in the arm for the troubled retail world. Success stories and showing how new or just old recycled ideas works is helpful. Recommended
