Why We Buy: The Science Of Shopping (Paperback) by Paco Underhill |
my rating:
|
|
Public said:
"Underhill reflects on his years of research into the shopping mall and how we are influenced by store layouts and design. There's more to it than you think. You'll never look at a Nordstrom's — or a Starbucks — the same way again.

"There are many good books on negotiation; this is the first and still the best. After I read this book the first time, I talked my way into the Post Office after it was closed. Really — Fisher & Co. know what they're talking about.
