The most ironic thing about this book is in the second chapter on Accessories, where it says accessory retailers often have to deal with “typically a small space”, yet almost every example featured in that chapter are retailers with a large space. Some of the spaces showcased are so large they almost look spartan.
So while those are indeed great projects that the book has showcased, very few feel realistic, by which I mean unless you are a major retailer or have lots of money to burn, the featured projects won’t be too useful as inspiration.
