Shopping, Seduction & Mr. Selfridge by Lindy Woodhead, 310 pages

As a fan of anything English, historical, and with a non-fiction bent, I was all set to love this book that followed the career of Harry Gordon Selfridge, the man who really brought the department store to England. Unfortunately, this wasn't a bad read, it just wasn't a great read. While it was interesting to see how Selfridge made shopping at his store an entertainment experience, and changed how Londoners shopped, this book just didn't grab me. I will say it could be the fact that I was sick at the time, so please pick this book up with an open mind.
