About this title: Nothing exemplifies shopping more than the mall, America's gift to personal consumption. This book is about the shopping mall as a dipstick reading on the commercial and social culture. It examines how people use it, what it means, why it works when it does, and why it fails when it fails.

"I couldn't finish this book. While there are plenty of tidbits that are interesting, it is so drawn out it takes forever to get to them ("Let's park our car... okay lets walk in the door.. blah blah"). However, you might glean some helpful information if you are in the retail industry."
