About this product

Product Information

In the late nineteenth century, San Francisco's merchant princes built grand stores for a booming city, each with its own niche. For the eager clientele, a trip downtown meant dressing up--hats, gloves and stockings required--and going to Blum's for Coffee Crunch cake or Townsend's for creamed spinach. The I. Magnin empire catered to a selective upper-class clientele, while middle-class shoppers loved the Emporium department store with its Bargain Basement and Santa for the kids. Gump's defined good taste, the City of Paris satisfied desires for anything French and edgy, youth-oriented Joseph Magnin ensnared the younger shoppers with the latest trends. Join author Anne Evers Hitz as she looks back at the colorful personalities that created six major stores and defined shopping in San Francisco.

Great gift idea for a friend who wants to learn about The City's past
The book is a great gift idea for a friend who is thinking about moving to San Francisco. She may want to learn more about The City's past history. Everything was just right.

For reminicing
For one who grew up and later worked in San Francisco, this well-documented history of the city's retail district is sheer pleasure, a chance to re-visit the elegant experience of shopping in stores that offered merchandise to fulfill every desire. The mention of bygone and beloved restaurants described in loving and accurate detail, was such a tease.......if only one could return to partake. The book is wonderful, a virtual return to an era of gentility. My kingdom for a slice of Blum's Coffee Crunch Cake or a bowl of Townsend's Creamed Spinach!For one who grew up and later worked in San Francisco, this well-documented history of the city's retail district is sheer pleasure, a chance to re-visit the elegant experience of shopping in stores that offered merchandise to fulfill every desire.
