I Read a Random 1920 Book
Tags: Curiosity · Literary Analysis
A random pick from the 1920 Book Review Digest landed me Elements of Retail Salesmanship, a funny and surprising window into department store life and vintage retail history. I write about tracking down a COVID-era copy, the book’s thumbs up in 1920 reviews, John Wanamaker, barkers, congoleum and corset oddities.
