From Bartholomew Fair to Marks and Spencer via Petticoat Lane and market crosses, we will explore the lively 1.000-year history of 'shop till you drop'. John Sainsbury, Messrs Harrod and Whiteley, WHSmith - all the big names are here. Fully illustrated with a profusion of vintage posters, packaging and old shop fronts.
