## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very interesting story of british retail
  

*by R***X on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 September 2020*

The book gives a summary of the 50 high street names (heroes) and explains the world of retail (more so during the last century). Its a fascinating read, however i think the retail earthquake has had its biggest impact in more recent years with the boom in on line sales. Along with the reality of empty retail spaces on the high street and elsewhere and the yet to be understood long term retail impact of the pandemic - which is likely to accelerate already fast moving changes. My version of the book was published in 2015 and so would have expected it to be a little more up to date in its conclusions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 July 2016*

Very interesting read for anyone who wishes to know more about the history of some of our well known high street stores. I liked this book a lot and think John Timpson is very clever, engaging and at times witty. I admire his business style and feel we need more like him. The sort of person I like to gIve business to. They also have excellent customer service having recently handled a small complaint very well. Certainly retained me as a customer.

An excellent, easy to read and very informative book that does not blind you with facts. Found some of the people listed as "heroes" very interesting and wondered why others were included but al in all can recommend this book.
