"A two-hour immersion in the eerily cool-posh world of the grandiose Neiman-Marcus emporium in Dallas".
"(Wiseman) has delved deeply and wisely into seemingly superficial subject matter and come up with a subtly informative — and incidentally entertaining — tract that will likely be of sociological importance for generations to come."
