In May 2005 Penguin will publish 70 unique titles to celebrate the company's 70th birthday. The titles in the Pocket Penguins series are emblematic of the renowned breadth of quality of the Penguin list and will hark back to Penguin founder Allen Lane's vision of 'good books for all'. Partially extracted from The Shops and updated with new material for the Penguin 70s series - On Shopping is part series of essays, part lists of essential information, you will never wonder about where to get the perfect 2-inches-off-the-waist pants again. This is a book for everyone who's ever had to part with cash, which is to say, a book for everyone.
