KIRKUS REVIEW:
Adventure in a store is what Joan Peters, 17, looks for and finds during a summer job period that proves formative for her future in fashions. Inspired by her Aunt Kay who is a buyer for Crane's in Boston, Joan persuades her parents, who want her to study singing, to let her work as a stock girl. She eagerly goes to work with the aim of starting her career right away and advancing herself through job experience alone. First at another store and then at Crane's, Joan meets the people who begin to have their effect on her life too- especially Teresa who proves a staunch friend, and her Cousin Mike, a young executive at Crane's who takes a romantic interest in Joan. Aside from the merchandising principles Joan begins to learn, there is a store musical show which Joan helps put on, her parents' final decision to let her do what she wants, and Joan's own realization that a year at the Boston School of Fashion would be highly rewarding. In a light vein, this characterizes an occupation of wide appeal.

Hi TheMamaBear, I see you just posted this auction, nice one also :) But may I ask you something please. Did you get credits for listing it ? I am asking because I have posted 3 auctions and did not get any credits for listing. Just trying to find out if they are having some issues in giving credits for listing our auctions with free shipping ! And thanks for your response ;)

No, you only get credits when they offer it as a goal, you'll see it on your profile page...it's not always there...it will be for certain categories, too...

please dont take this as negative, but correct definition of "antique" is 100 years old object...

Yes, technically, you are correct but, an antique is commonly known as to be over 100 years old, although many believe an antique is a piece from another era in time.

well, correct me if i am wrong but antique is not "commonly know as over 100 years old" but that is a precise definition of antique... while something from another time would be vintage 50's or 60's or 70's . . . i am not picking on your listing, just so many out there are fairly loose with description to attract more attention. thank you for not blocking me or hiding the comment as it was neither rude nor threatening.

Hey, I'm not looking to debate what you think or don't think, that's your prerogative. I am just trying to make some people happy here by allowing them to have a really awesome, rare, piece of history in this book. You take care, and have a nice day, now.
