This was such an interesting read, and I loved the old photos of the store windows ( especially the photos on which you can see the public and styles of the eras ), but overall it left me lacking. It felt like this book could have been so much more. It's still a great book for the holidays for those who enjoy history🎄

I bought this book as one of my souvenirs of this weekends trip to NYC. We rounded off the evening by walking down 5th Ave to look at the Christmas window displays, Ending up at Maceys. This book is a great look at the evolution of the displays. It has some great photographs of various Christmas windows over the years.
The book is a quick and easy read. I read it entirely on my train ride back to DC.
