Why we buy
Washington Monthly, Jan-Feb, 2007 by Jan Whitaker
Few authors have the pleasure of having their book reviewed by a reader who actually gets it and also brings a rich background to the subject ("The Invention of Shopping" by Christina Larson, November). I feel honored and delighted. Thank you for engaging with the themes that I wanted the book to convey, and not simply seeing it as an exercise in nostalgia.
