Gimbels Has It!
"Lisicky notes, every city in which Gimbels had a presence felt like it was a 'Gimbels city.' But, Milwaukee, he says, was especially connected to its Gimbels identity....It's no real mystery why Lisicky, who was dubbed 'Official Historian on East Coast Department Stores' by Philadelphia's City Paper wrote a book about Gimbels. After all, he's already written 'Wanamaker's: Meet Me at the Eagle' and 'Hutzler's: Where Baltimore Shops.'" --Bobby Tanzilo,Milwaukee Online"Gimbels Has It!" is filled with evocative black-and-white photos and even a chapter of recipes, including the one for Gimbels-Schusters Potato Salad, a favorite of Wisconsin shoppers and Allan "Bud" Selig, commissioner of Major League Baseball. --Marylynne Pitz,Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
