The book is designed either to be read from cover to cover, or to act as a reference on specific issues. It aims to address both the art and the science of museum retailing. Key topics covered include: product selection; merchandising and display; customer service; layout and design; record-keeping; and pricing and inventory management. Throughout, the emphasis is on achieving better real-world results and on simple, effective implementation.
