Description

Wanamaker's : Meet Me at the Eagle, Paperback by Lisicky, Michael J., ISBN 1596290080, ISBN-13 9781596290082, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Philadelphia was once the proud home of Wanamaker's, a department store of many firsts founded by the retail giant John Wanamaker in 1861. Its name was synonymous with service, and Philadelphians still fondly remember the massive bronze eagle in the Grand Court, concerts from the world's largest pipe organ and the spectacular Christmas festivities. Philadelphia native Michael J. Lisicky takes a nostalgic journey through the history of the store, from its beginnings as a haberdashery to its growth into New York and Delaware and the final poignant closing of its doors. Lisicky brilliantly combines interviews with store insiders, forgotten recipes and memories from local celebrities such as Trudy Haynes and Sally Starr to bring readers back to the soft glow of the marble atrium and the quiet elegance of the Crystal Tea Room that was Wanamaker's

  2. Book was new (as advertised) and priced fairly. I thought it could have been shipped by a more expeditious means for about the same money, but it was well packaged and arrived in good shape. The "slowness" in delivery was due to the delivery service the seller chose to use and was not due to a lack of timeliness on the seller's part. I would be glad to buy from this merchant again and I would recommend them to other eBay book shoppers.

  3. This unique book was priced quite reasonable. The book was advertised as new and arrived in mint condition and in the highest authentic hard cover quality. It Packaging was very good when mailed. I also find communicating with the seller during the shipping process, which was a bit of a wait for a very hard to find book, was very prompt and inspired trust. I highly recommend this seller and will return for future purchases.
