The book captures the texture of everyday commercial life: shortages, deliveries, seasonal rushes, and the social role of the shop as a community hub. A warm, anecdotal portrait of retail life in an era when personal connection mattered as much as the goods on the shelves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes monochrome images, map.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003e\nExcellent with light wear on dust jacket and page edges, faint marks on end papers, no stamps or inscriptions, pages clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIMAGES\u003cbr\u003e\nAre of the actual item and depict all need to know detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eREMARKS\u003cbr\u003e\nScarce in this condition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unicorn Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55229736288548,"sku":null,"price":39.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/1901\/6740\/files\/2312240392.jpg?v=1783477708","url":"https:\/\/unicornbooks.co.nz\/products\/customers-and-green-men-by-margaret-elizabeth-mackay-1967-1st-edition","provider":"Unicorn Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
