Silent Selling is "a current and in depth look inside the industry - it encompasses all angles of visual merchandising arts." -- Karen Kritzer, Sheridan College, Canada Silent Selling does an excellent job of representing the material in a way that is easy to understand for the average to the avid merchandiser. -- Kristen Ainscoe, Drexel University, US Silent Selling has "very good snippets of information that will allow students and staff to explore further and be inspired to want to read on in order to grasp the entirety of the world of Visual Merchandising." -- Colette Mawdsley, Hugh Baird College, UK Silent Selling offers a variety of chapter assignments and semester projects to correspond with the readings. [It includes] thorough information on store layout and types of fixtures. I really like the author's approach as they present the field of visual merchandising as something that translates to many different career paths; I really stress 'transferrable skills' to my students and I think this does a good job supporting that. -- Katherine Schaefer, Columbia College Chicago, US
