Iconic Brand: Swatch
In 1983, the unexpected appearance of an affordable, Swiss made, plastic watch turned the watch world upside down. Suddenly, a watch was much more than a way to measure time. It was a new language, a way to speak from the heart without words. A Swatch watch was an expression of joy, a provocative statement, a warm smile delivered with a flick of the wrist. Today, the revolution continues: Swatch talks, and everyone understands.
Jarrold’s Book Choice: The Story of the Norwich Boot and Shoe Trade
The Story of the Norwich Boot and Shoe Trade - Frances and Michael Holmes
RRP £9.95
Frances and Michael Holmes are the authors of the hugely successful books A Market For Our Times: A History Of The Norwich Provisions Market and Norwich Pubs And Breweries: Past And Present. Their latest project is this fascinating and comprehensive history of a trade which at one time employed 15% of the entire Norwich work force, making it the single biggest industry in the city. The book’s 262 pages are packed with first-hand accounts from those who worked in the trade, along with archive material, photographs and newspaper reports, all combining to paint a picture of this trade that was - and to a small extent still is - at the heart of Norwich’s commercial life.
This book and a large selection of titles can be found in our book department on the ground floor.
