The Shopkeepers : Storefront Business and the Future of Retail by R Klanten

The Shopkeepers: Storefront Business and the Future of Retail looks at the growing number of well-designed specialty shops by small manufacturers and independents. Stocked with vintage flavour and charm, the barbershops, fish smokeries, tailors and milliners are driven by the passion that their founders have for their business ideas and products.

The Shopkeepers introduces some of the personalities behind these exciting often well established retail concepts and illustrates how a new generation of consumers are valuing their honesty, authenticity and the personal retail experience that the internet simply cannot provide.
